Default A/C *****

My 1999 C5
I can't find A/C ***** as a replacement.
Note: When I put my make and model in to even change the entire face another A/C style comes up.
The picture shown is what I need replacement *****.

These are the ***** that I need or even the entire faceplate.

There are two different climate control systems for the C5. This is the more basic option. I would reach out to Vettenuts. I would bet that they can help you out.

I have the climate control, and would rather have the basic controls. They look better with a modern radio, and are simple and easy to use.

I talked to mark at vettenuts he seems to be a good seller for corvette parts at an affordable price.

Can you swap back and forth between the basic and non-basic? Meaning, are the plugs the same in the back, just pop it out. I also prefer the basic one over what I have.

Are you referring to swapping from Dual climate control to the manual **** AC system? Thats what i was curious about too what it requires to convert to the manual style HVAC system.

Isn’t this something? Back in the day we thought we were getting the cool setup.

Now we want the basic stuff because it has retained a nicer look. Frankly, that’s what I like about the radio. I don’t need to go through a menu to change the volume.
