Climate Control... What do you think?

I know its been brougt up a million times, but.... what do you think.. is it possible to replace the manual with the auto climate controls so it works digitally.. i know it might not hold temp, or have the "auto" command work properly for there are no sensors, but are the hook ups the same or at least similar?!? what do you guys this, or is this definatelly out of the question? I just like the clean look of the auto climate.. as long as it functions mode, temp and fan speed.. thats all i need... auto, or car temp, what ever.. you know??


so let me know your thoughts

So then why are you asking this question, then?

NO, IT CAN'T BE DONE FOR UNDER $2,000.

ha

this topic has been brought up, but never this idea.. i thought that it may be the same idea as the house thermostat.. you can change the analog to digital w/ no problem.. so if the hook ups are the same, it'll work.. you just won't get the auto option working... $2000 is MOST labor, remember that! sensors put everywhere.. but i'll research this.

but its funny how the body kit and HID topics come up at least once a day.. but thats cool.. i don't care... i just though if anyone ever looked into the hook ups.. if they could be hooked up the same... so thats why i asked.

I believe this topic is in the stickies...(not quite sure.) But, anyway, converting manual to auto PROBABLY can be done, but will be very time consuming. The wiring is totally different from auto to manual because of all the types of sensors that the auto uses. Not well worth it for all the aggravation and modification to make this swap, let alone the labor and expenses to make this happen.

yes this has been asked almost as many times at which intake is better
i'll answer it the same way i have hundreds on times -

you not only have to buy the control unit but also - two sensors and a few hundered yards or wiring. then you have to install all that
