i believe the Evo's in japan are the only ones that have this (maybe UK too?). people on here have talked about trying to put one in a US Evo, but you would need to add a lot of sensors and wiring to get this to work in a US Evo and i don't think anyone bothered trying to do it.

Ive actually sourced a set from a japanese site. The companie doesn't except paypal, so im having an issue trusting to send a money order. They seem like a respectable company, but Im still not sure yet. Ill let yall know how it goes.

I believe the JDM and European HVACs are Auto. The entire HVAC or the interface between the HVAC controls and the HVAC unit may be different. US Evos are cable driven controls while JDM may be wire/electric motor driven controls. Not impossible, but may require a lot of rework to convert over to JDM. Definitely looks better than the cheap looking US controls.

Might be confusing to some too with the temperature in Deg C.

that would work but since they are rhd the blower and misc things might not fit. just get the little accuators that control the cable driven parts. it will work you just have to spend time and money to get it working right.
