You cannot retrofit a non dual zone to a dual zone by just adding the dual zone controler. It would take aditional wire harness, sensors, actuators, vacuum lines etc. I bought my new controler from a guy who was going to try this and decided wisely that this would be a giant PIA.

I personally don't think the dual zone A/C control is worth the money.A cool interior is al the comfort you need.I have the dual zone A/C and I really don't think its all that its cracked up to be.Just a laymans opinion. :chevy :chevy :flag :chevy :chevy

As :iagree:

Manual system uses vacuum actuators to move flow gates, etc. , Dual Zone uses eletronic actuators and has a different setup.

I agree that dual zone control is a waste in a 2 seater car, but it IS nice to be able to set the temp and forget about it. :yesnod:

Hmmm, I think it depends on how you use the car, if you drive alone alot it is a waste of money.

I have the dual zone A/C and my wife does find it nice, I like the car cabin temp around 67 degrees. my wife likes it warmer and almost always adjusts her side for warmer air.

Is there supposed to be any visual indicator showing the Dual Zone is active (besides the passenger **** being turned)?

On other Dual Zone controllers on other GM cars -- when you turn the passenger ****, the display changes to indicate your dual zone setting.

On my C5, it's hard to determine from the driver's seat if the dual zone is even doing anything.
