Automatic climate control set

I use Waze on my phone. Why does anybody buy a sat nav anymore?

Free satnav is rubbish where I am with a patchy signal, when I last looked there were no good offline ones. No great problem as I bought copilot Europe for my phone for £20

Fair enough.

By the way, have you tried Waze? I only ask because I have used it throughout Britain, France and Germany including in lots of remote mountainous areas. It has been more reliable than my TomTom, especially for up to date traffic info. I have used it for two years and still cannot get over the fact of how good it is, and all for free.

I read up on it but saw it was touch and go if it would work so decided it wasn't worth the bother to save 20 quid.

Ditto. I left TomTom after another card and software update leaving me with a bricked 1005 machine.
It amazed me how accurate it was at that time. New street situations are implemented the very instant the new road/crossing opens.
In my van I used the satnav maybe ten times. On two occasions the situation was changed and in five I couldn't get any further because I ended up at the beginning of a cycle path.

Bumping this thread.

Can you order this from factory now?

I have it in the options-list on fords website (in Sweden) but the dealer had a hard time "ordering it".

I'm putting the info in this thread to;


Just got it confirmed from the dealer (in Sweden).

The automatic aircon is only available from factory together with the satnav as a package.

I bought the automatic aircon controller from my dealer for £330 and fitted it myself

I have been toying with the idea of getting one of these to fit myself as i see they are now available to buy in the UK.
Was it hard to install ive seen all the install instructions. looks straight forward and there are a few pics on this subject of where you need to cut out the dash. bit worried about that bit
are you happy you did install it

[keeff]

Have you had a price for the uk kit.? Would like one in mine and would have a go at fitting it if it doesn't need to go on the computer to set up.I got a £50 voucher from ford customer services for the mess up over the fuel tank so could put this towards it.

[mic71]

£333 Inc VAT if you Google it there is a ford garage in Derby selling it but I have seen on here people have ordered from there local ford garage.

Did it work. No need for a software update?
Are you glad you fitted it ?
I would like to get one myself but probably just trying to justify the price.

A year on from having mine retro installed, I wouldn't do it again. The sensor is not at all sensitive and suddenly decides it's too hot or cold and blasts me with hot or cold air. I spend just as much time fiddling with the 'automatic' temperature dial as I did with the manual unit. Save your money and stick with the manual.

[Alar]

Have to say that i agree. As I finally got changed the faulty unit to working one i'd have to say that the system is slow and dumb

[Treespotter]

Okay guys. Good to hear. I'm going to stick to the manual and block any CC thoughts that come up in my head.

[yasser]

unless you did something with the temp sensor!! Because I'm sure its just that and if you put it in a better place.....
