AC control unit swap

Has anyone here ever switched the regular ac/heater control unit for the digital one? This seems somewhat trivial, but my 00SE has the regular old school control unit and I would prefer the digital, I think it looks better and I want the ambient temp option.

For an idea of what you would have to do, here is a link by a guy who did that on his 3rd gen max.

click on the how-to tab at the top and then select "convert to auto climate".

anything can be done with enough expertise and money. That said, I have never heard of a 5th genner doing it successfully. And there are 100 other threads asking this same question. And this one will now joint them in lock pergatory....
