Automatic climate control set

Does it take tapes or cd's?

You nailed it, Mike - it does look more like a head unit. As I said, it works well enough, but looks as if I stole it from a Focus

Do you think it's worth the money, does it save playing with the HVAC controls?

I'll have to get back to you on that once I've used it a bit more. It does involve a lot less work than the manual unit, which I was constantly fiddling with, but for the moment - and this is purely subjective and unscientific - I would rate it as a £250-300 option in the ford.co.uk configurator.

Hopefully it'll become a factory option in the 2015 MY vans.

It took me two hours, I did it myself in the same time I installed my brodit mobile holder charger. The most difficult was to get the upper part of the dash, were the display is in, fitted because the upper temperaturesensor was pushed out because of a part of the inner dash was in the way.

great news mate, now i know someone has fitted it themselves i'll order one

Here are the pictures of the parts i had to cut away. You also have to delete the two upper mountings were the old panel was attached.

Sorry, for those who noticed, picture 1 and 3 had to be the other way around.

[Mike]

Did you cut it with an iPhone and take the pics with a saw?

Thanks for those photos Meyer

Had mine installed. I have to say that the whole panel sits on bit weird angle, faceing more the passanger than driver, but otherwise Im happy, hopefully it eliminated the small aux heather issue I had where it did not heat the cabin

Hello,

what issues du you had with the auxiliary heater? When the car is shut down, only the fan control is working. The flaps for warm and cold and up and down are not working. So I have to switch it to hot before I shut down the car.

Please report if it is different with the auto ac.

Thank you also for the picture.

Kind regards
Rossi

I had an issue that in the mornings the cabin was cold but engine warm but they should be both warm

As I said, it looks as if it were meant for another model. Works fine, though, and that's the main thing.

I if course noticed something - for some reason the system switches itself back to 22c even when driving

The wife has the unit in her Focus although it is the Dual zone version but they are in most of the cars. I had an cheap eco b-max on loan for a day when the van went in and that had one in as well
