C5 Corvette Climate controls, help question
I just bought me a 1999 Corvette Hardtop. FRC. It has the old school dial controls for the climate controls. I was curios if this can be changed over, to the stock digital controls, that came in some models? Can anyone help with this, and any advice of needed items, to do the swap. Thanks so much.

There is far more involved in changing over the controller to the digital unit. You would have to replace the heater core behind the dash, run wiring for the system and change BCM options.
The cost for this from a labor perspective would make it not worth while. You would be better off selling what you have and finding a late 1999 or 2000 FRC that already had the dual zone system.
