There are people on e bay who can fix some problems. They usually fix the dim display stuff but i think they also do other repairs. Just search C5 dim display and you will get several hits.
Check and see if you have any hvac codes. Here's a link that describes how to pull the dic codes. http://www.stengel.net/diccodes.htm

That doesn't have anything to do with adjusting the cabin temp.

If the set temperature will not change, you probably need a rebuilt AC control head... There are places that specialize in rebuilding and upgrading the control units...
One is Digital-Dash-Solutions

Mine could only be changed a degree or two. Had to get a rebuilt unit. I may have gotten it from Digital Dash.
