Maybe be possible, but will require alot of re-wiring and sensors. Unfortunately, it's not plug-in-play. Totally different than manual climate control.

I was told by a dealer not possible unless you have a donor car. Different wiring and sensors, solenoids, etc. I have it in mine, honestly, I just assume have the manual, it looks cool but not really worth the money in my opinion. Chris

wow, can't believe you don't appreciate it. This is one of my favorite features for one reason: Set it to your desired temp and it takes care of it all
1. airflow location
2. air temp
3. fan speed
4. best part: You never get blown out with cold air in the winter when the engine hasn't warmed up yet. It doesn't turn on the fans until the engine is warm.

This upgrade would be well worth the work IMHO.

unfortunatly u need the sensors. They determine such things as temperature. So the whole point of the auto control would be pointless, mainly there just for looks if u did it without sensors. Im sure it would be possible to just hook it up and not make it auto but manual at all times... Again that would be just for looks tho
