Hey was just wondering, is it possible to wire up a climate control facia to an executives air con and still have it being able to function like regular air con?! (aka, no auto function)

You know do all the wires match up and will i be able to set front de mister, temp, fan speed, vents, etc. etc.?

no. Ours, as far as I can see, is all mechanical. Then again, i might be wrong.

... hmmm, so i cant hook the wires for the mechanics on the face of an air con fascia to the wires from the exec. damn

The Magna panel uses a series of control rods to open and close the vents, direct air flow and so on. I think the Verada one is all electronic. So while you may be able to wire it up somehow, it would only be partially functional.

Hmmm... all i need is the Dials on the verada fascia to do exactly what the ones of the executives would. in other words, i've noticed that the verada has a dial for fan speed, temp, the only problem i see is the buttons for air con... which may be a problem... *Edit* no wait the buttons for economy and chill are their... maybe this will indeed work

Was just thinking of that actually, climate control fascia that flips down to reveal the old air con panel behind. Watch as your passengers wonder why your climate control doesn't work. lol
