S15 climate control installation (on analog controlled S15)

[udi]

Just wondering if this is very straightforward (will the digital unit take the same plugs as the analog one)? Or is re-wiring neccessary?

Also a random question, is the backlighting on the digital unit white to match the rest of the controls?

Thanks!

It's extremely hard to find the parts and do the wiring, don't bother IMHO

If I had the climate control unit and its wiring looms/connectors, would that be all the parts I needed?

I have plenty of time on my hands, surely someone has done this before... I've seen a conversion guide for the S13/180, but that's all

Thanks

That's the guide for the S13, it looks like that was blessed with matching connectors between analog and digital (unlike the 15) but still, surely it's possible, I just don't know how.

There's quite a lot of work involved apparently!
Have a search on here. Was a topic fairly recently too.

Seems like there is a lot involved.. I might as well post the references for anyone else with the same question:

Looks like I may have 1x digital climate control unit + wiring looms with no use for them.

you and be both pal, I was asking the same questions a few weeks ago. I thought at first it would just be plug and play

Oh, that sucks man... good to see someone in the same boat at least. Wish I'd searched and seen your thread earlier.

I bet if one person tracked down the sensors and part numbers it could be pulled off, but that still leaves the complications of working out the wiring.
