it's from an intrigue. it may not work being wire harness is different and probably controlled by the ECU.
that same thought crossed my mind a few years ago.

In order to switch to the automatic climate control It will require a ton of modification, especially for a dual zone setup. It requires a handful of sensors (temperature inside the car, sunlight sensor, possibly another sensor for the coolant temp). Not to mention all the different actuators etc.. required by the system.

You can't program the ecu. Some cars have the dual climate as a option. The factory produces two models of the ecu with different firmware istalled. The alero never had the option to begin with.
