You can buy that controller for about 30 USD.

No need to design/fabricate anything, just get the interior harness, blower/heater core and auto controls from an Evo with auto climate, swap everything and be done.
I also have folding mirrors, and I did not do any fabrication, just make sure to get the ETACS from an evo with folding mirrors, and a circuit diagram to install the cables to the correct pins, that's it.
As far as I know, the ETACS does not control the auto climate control, I could be wrong so don't quote me on that one.

There are tons of small components and sensors that will need to be purchased also, such as the cabin temp sensor, sunlight sensor, ambient air temp sensor, A/C ecu, etc.

I actually have a source for all of the parts except the heater assembly. That is going to be the hardest part because it must be from a LHD Evo with auto a/c. The blower motor looks to be interchangeable from manual to auto a/c. I'm currently trying to find an EU parts supplier, but its turning out to be extremely difficult.

If some of you need these JDM parts, let me know, I don't mind sourcing them.

Obviously the interest is there, including myself. But $500 +/- without a fully detailed writeup or anyone completing this task causes skepticism. Your best bet for people to start throwing money is to complete either of the 2 tasks and I'm sure you will have a following. Good luck!

I'm definitely not offering a service or product so I don't understand what skepticism you're speaking. It's also a fact that LHD Evos come with auto a/c. The problem is none are in this market. That's where the difficulty comes in is sourcing the correct parts. The conversion is completely straight forward provided you have ALL of the correct parts. To save money, I will more than likely be modifying the existing wiring harness and creating a few of my own.
