Good work Blood, however is that not the same as you had before? Now what would be impressive is if you could retrofit the advanced climate control

I have to admit I don`t like the chrome bits but in order for the proper fitment I had to get it.

if all you are trying to do is fill the gaps, then what you can do is just remove the buttons from the LCI AC and stick it on the pre-LCI AC. The reason I thought things wouldnt work directly is because the CIC people had to do a hack on the advanced AC to get it to work on the pre-LCI.

Looks good, but I agree with Bruce pull off the old switches and put them on, I do like the CCC volume button over the pre-LCI one though

when you doing the gear selector
