just wondering if any one can get the jdm ac controll unit and how much it would be. and it is what it looks like.

 

OOH! it looks nice!

 

yea i wanna know too!!!man i love those ac controls

 

I can get it but it wont work w/ usdm Evolutions. Our hvac controls are vaccuum based. Overseas its a completely different setup. But if you didn't care about your hvac controls you can definately put them in you car. It will just be functionless

 

I know from expiriance in the car business that anything can be ordered through the dealership. I don't see why you couldnt have your dealership order it from Mitsu Japan. I once imported parts for my sti from japan. If the shipping cost is worth it go for it. Also, if you do figure it out count me in on a group buy which would help lower shipping. Good Luck!

 

Other than that, I would highly recommend the orbital prestige 2-din kit if you wanted to go double-din and have your hvac controls on the bottom

 

those controls are electronic, our controls are manual.

if you expect a conversion like that to work you better be prepared to spend easily over $1000.. and that is a conservative guess.

you'll need the unit itself, various temperature-sensing themostats & actuators, wire harnesses, most likely a different HVAC compressor, an OEM radio relocation kit, JDM wiring diagram, USDM wiring diagram, and of course a highly-specialized/experienced installer to handle the absolute nightmare of a splicing/custom-wiring job that this is going to take.

oh, and you'll also need an OEM mitsubishi 2-DIN bezel with or without and optional OEM mitsubishi 2-DIN overlay.

 

wow.. never thought it was going to be that much work. thought it was just going to be the controls outside. guess i will just stick with the Orbital Prestige kit for now.

 

hey that looks sweet!! i want the clear dash trim part .. might even paint mine

 

Orbital kit ftw...201 motorsports ftw for selling them...

 

Is it me, or does the JDM interior look way nicer and it has more features inside?

 

Looks the same to me except for the HVAC controls and skinnier seats.

IMO the orbital kit is by far the best set-up there is concerning relocation of the climate controls. Definitly OEM quality or better. Do a search and check it out with a double DIN touch screen installed. Its the perfect set-up, really adds some class to the evo interior. As soon as I pay of some bills and get my taxes back next year it will be in my car.

 

it's just looks hella nice. looking at our usdm interior, just makes me wanna cry......LOL.

 

the usdm montero comes with the same controls. i wonder if those can be used?

 

What Stereo is that?
