I have seen the Montero looking climate control on EVO 7 with the Auto feature, so can I just switch those around from a montero? Also, will a digital climate control work on an EVO from a diamante?






I also found this EVO, Is that NAV or that Trip compuet w/compase from the Montero? Would that little display from the Montero even work on an EVO?

 

there have been many threads on the climate control issue, the general consensus is that it would be very difficult if at all possible. The problem resides in the fact that our HvAC systems are cable driven not electronic. You would need the entire system from one of those cars the remove yours and retro fit the Auto stuff. and yes That is nav. Some of the Euro Spec cars have specialty factory options depending on area. Having seen a polish mitsu catalog the can get replacement CF look interior accents, different pedals, Nav etc.etc.etc.

 

So the best thing is pretty much leave it the way it is? Thats wierd, b/c the EVO 7 has the same ones like the montero and EVO 6 has the digital from Diamante

 

thats correct they do, i myself have wondered why mitsu did that, and then I realized that as Americans we seem to get the **** end of the stick on most imported vehicles. Its a shame. we lose out on all the good details of these cars. Specifically, No ACD AYC for two years, no MR for two years (after the evos inital release in '03) and when it gets here no blacked out lights, no black steering wheel, No Euro Badges, no satin black badges, on our cars. The details dammit.
Oh well....Back to the topic try searching I know a couple of people on here were trying that setup, not sure if it worked out though.

 

BTW, my other concern was the window switch. The drivers window switch is the only lighted on, which is wierd, is there a way to put all the switches on the drivers door and all the passanger doors so they all illuminate??

 

Anyone know about changing the window switches?

 

You should be asking that question about the switches in a new thread.

 

question: on the first picture, the climate control unit on the motero is electrical/automatic?

i thought montero sports are middle-priced SUV's....

 

Its not a Montero Sport. But instead, its a MONTERO/PAJERO

 

I think I remembered seeing other single din climate control units in other mitsubishi models (maybe an older mirage, older fto, etc etc) what im trying to say is im sure there are 1 din mechanic climate control units in some mitsubishi models... cant we just use those in our evo? all of them have the same functions (3 dials, one for fan position, one for fan strength (0,1,2,3,4), one for hotness/coldness), along with two buttons, one for AC on/off, another for defrost). Can someone chime in and give this brother some help? it'll be nice if we can find such a unit and confirm compatibility, put in in the lower cubby-hole, so that we can open up the space in the center console for a double din dvd player (i hate the 1 din slide out units)

thanks

 

i believe that my 94 galant ls had a 1 din setup.. cant remember since i got rid of the car a year or two ago

 

thats a start... thanks kamokazi

anybody else?
