Has anyone ever tried to customize their 914 with a climate control system from a 993, 996 or Boxster? One thing I am dreading when putting my car back together is getting that push/pull cable system back into the car.
Would it even be reasonably possible? Note: No A/C in the car, so maybe buttons there but non-functional. A 993 climate control looks suitable from a "looks" point of view, but no doubt big $$$. http://rennlist.com/forums/attachments/993...-canon-2220.jpg Ignore the whole carbon fiber bits....just the climate control would be desired. |

Well I am going to be building an entirely new dash so your requirements are a bit different than mine, also I am using an entire Audi wiring harness/engine/trans/ecu/ect... Its all integrated, but you MIGHT be able to power up the unit itself and go from there.. I dont know if anyone has tried though.
Good thing is all the parts are available at the local pickers for cheap cheap.. There is the late and early model unit, fully automated but with manual takeover.
