I believe this change is quite a bit more extensive than just switching the control boxes in the dash. At a minimum you will need the external temp sensor,internal temp sensor, light sensor, and change the HVAC computer. You will also have to change the RH and LH actuators in the dash that control the air flow modes and control temp for the RH and LH side. I know someone that was thinking of this and called it quits after he took a serious look at it.

Gonbad is right. It's not worth the trouble and expense and heartache. Besides, with all the cars I have owned with fancy A/C features, I always end up adjusting manually anyway. I don't know about the rest of you, but my right seat passenger would not even think of using the **** on the dash to adjust her "dual zone' - she just turns and closes the vents so that I enjoy the sound of hearing the venturi effect in action.

Happy trails and seeya,
