Customizing dashboard heater/defrost controls, From a 993 or 996 or early Boxster? Options

[boxsterfan]

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 $$$.

Ignore the whole carbon fiber bits....just the climate control would be desired.

The CCU will require the CAN bus to operate properly. CAN bus will not operate without the factory ECU and dash cluster and ABS controller and TCU and steering column, and, and, and...

Best be is to reverse engineer the 993 control knobs and create a controller to use those inputs. A linear actuator will give the push/pull motion required to operate the 914 flappers in the fresh air box and diverter valves.

In Andyrew's case, he will need the ECU and dash cluster and CCU. In fact, he will need a whole car to pull parts and wiring from. Very ambitious! But stripping a complete car is the easiest way. He might need the steering column unless he gets the immobilizer flashed out.

Many of the above items can get flashed out. But many are required to make the CCU work.
