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. |

Read up on the CAN bus and error codes. Many modules will not work without an "OK" signal from the master (dash cluster).
I have dealt a lot with CAN on my conversion. I still get an error from the missing ABS controller. I am running the dash cluster and ECU. the two work well together. The ABS will eventually get flashed out. I don't think you will get the CCU to work unless you can hack the CAN signal and write code. |
