Hi all,
does anybody know if these modules are all that's needed to upgrade from a standard unit to Climate Control as well as the display/control unit ofcourse..
It's in an ELXR.
Thanks.

the doco is very limited and doesnt tell you a lot of things. do'nt get me wrong its an invaluable resource but when i started to do my conversion it seemed a lot easier than what it was.

for one you have to cut a bigger hole in the heater box to allow for the new fan speed controller.

if you get a new dash loom, you need a new bem and a new headlight switch as well. because they are different from non climate control models..

If you put in the High series BEM then you have display dimming on the cluster, CC and trip Comp. You might as well put in the control for it as well.
