I just thought I'd throw this idea out to the VX community.....

I was looking at the climate control gages and wondered if the size, shape and connections would match up or could be easily tweaked to fit a more easier to use existing display such as the 3 rotary knob design....one for temperature, one for the vent selections and one for fan speed...or some other control face used in another vehicle. Not to mention in the '00 and 01' years, when you select certain vents (ie: front windshield defrost, floor and front defrost) and then turn the fan on, the AC automatically engages which bugs me because maybe I don't want it to do that all the time and eat up gas, etc.

I haven't pulled out the existing climate control plate to see the connections, but thought if someone out there was in that neighborhood already and this idea was feasible or interesting enough....maybe we could explore it?

I don't know, just an idea.....
