Default adding dual zone climate control

Is there a "how-to" for this procedure? I am assuming that it's possible... I'd like to try on my 00 FRC. I'm guessing that i need to reprogram the HVAC module. Is that correct? If so, do you need a tech2 or can you do this with some of the "other" tuner software? Thanks, Bruce

You would have to swap the entire HVAC box behind the dash. It would be a very difficult swap IMO.

Many differences - not only the head unit. The entire plumbing is different (airflow is divided into two separate zones) zone airflow doors, electronic actuators to control airflow temp, additional sensors (wiring is probably already there). That's just to name a few challenges.
