does anyone know where i can order the UK AC unit. i want to do a double din screen on the top and move the ac to the bottom. i know i can just move the stock one but i like the other better so i just thought that i would ask. and also will it just plug right in?

 

I believe the UK and Japanese versions are electronic whereas the US models are controlled by cables. So no it won't work. There is a thread about a guy who makes relocation kits for our controls. I suggest you try that.

 

yea get your name on his list. he charges 300 for the double din face and relocation kit. it's a good deal as the piece alone is about 300 from japan

 

whats his name?

 

Yeah, I wanted to know this exact same thing, but the bad news is, is that it seems to be either EXTREMELY hard to do, or just plain impossible. If you click on my name and look at the threads I've created you can see the thread I am talking about.

 

Here is the thread I was talking about actually:

hey, the swap can't be done without a HUGE investment in sensors, wiring, and a multitude of parts to convert from a manual HVAC system to an electronic one.

if you want to relocate your controls to make room for a 2-DIN, check out the link in my sig for the group buy. we're offering the first 100 orders at the GB price of $250.

 

But what if he takes the whole system from a wrecked jdm, meaning sensors and everything.

 

goodluck with that if you're willing to spend the thousand(s) of dollars in parts and labor needed to make that whole conversion work.

honestly, with what i've already invested in getting this kit to accomodate two DINs as efficiently and easily as possible, i can't possibly imagine how expensive that setup would cost. just to have an electronic HVAC unit, i don't see the logic in spending that much more money when all that really matters is having two DIN's.

that's just my .02
