climate control change

[RoninKouga]

hi guys ^-^

just an idea: did s/o allready try to change to the automatic climate control? do you think this would work - or is another aftermarket solution?

thanks in advance

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.

ya it is from an intrigue, i was thinking about that as well, my parents have an intrigue so i would be able to take it apart and see if it works, ill give that a try this weekend and let you guys know now it goes

[steve-o]

wicked, do it up... just dont blow anything up :)

[Silentalero]

a friend did this on a 3000gt (took knobs to a digi setup) you are gonna have to get a new ecu and a few other parts....lemme see if i can find his post about it.

[cherrington17]

that'd be pretty damn sweet. get to it sat!

...but how would you reprogram the ecu to accomodate that change? :huh:

[RoninKouga]

wow nice response.

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.

i was talking with my old man last night about this and thats what he said as well, he said that it wouldnt be worth all the work you would need to do but he still thought it was a cool idea, so i wont be attempting this any time soon.....too much shit ya gotta go through just for simple climate controls

[battistoni21]

this sounds like a great idea....

[sound_xtreme]

ya if ya got ur hands on a cheap junkyard setup id say go for it.

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.

^looks like it is case closed

If you try anything be careful, I blew the fuse for the radio when I pluged my HVAC contorls back in when I put in the carbon fiber

[battistoni21]

not to get off topic, but is there anyway of avoiding blowing any fuses while plugging your hvac plugs back in?

wtf, ive never blown a fuse pluggin mine back in and ive done mine like 4357834985 times

[steve-o]

^^^^ agreed

[cherrington17]

^same here. if your blowing fuses your managing to short some wires together somehow. pulling out or back in... never had a problem.
