its all futura, to be honest i hated the digital crap... first thing in the morning the last thing i want to be doing in the middle of winter with frozen fingers is pressing a button a million times to change the temp...
a simple twist of a dial suits me better, and its easy to change later on if i wish. i also picked up a trip computer on ebay, so ill wire that in one day when i can be stuffed |

if you have a read back i swapped the heater unit over with the futura one while the dash was out.

With my climate control, all i do is press the temp button & hold it, then it starts to climb towards the max temp. Simple really. I prefer the climate control, set to temp you want, set to auto & let it do it's job.
I'm going to convert my Xr8 to climate control one day, as well as power windows, power antenna, dimable dash lights, and a few other fairmont ghia bits n pieces too. Cheers ToranaGuy

dimable dash lights are easy, just swap the headlight switch over with one with a green plug not the low series white one and your done. i have done it to all my cars i have had. i think i have a few laying about still

You set it and forget it without having to change the settings all the time to adjust for comfort etc. |

Set it to 22* and it will warm up a cold interior after the motor warms up and cool down a hot interior in the sunshine. Fan, vent selection, air con and blend door, all automatic. If you like playing with rotary dials and knobs, no problems there either. |

Thats it isnt it - I wouldnt swap CC for anything.
No needing to turn the fan off - just wait for warm engine and then the fan creeps on. Only thing I ever needed to do was up the temp a degree or 2 on really, really long trips |

lol harsh.. i might upgrade it one day, but all i wanted to do was get it all working with the items i had at the time, then laser on fiddle around with things if i feel it needs upgrading. i was almost tempted to remove the aircon/heater system all together... but decided against it lol
