Tom_iL I need to revise the instructions again.

In order for you to use the left hand side temp control you will need to swap pin 1 to pin 2 (i got this wrong) but you will not need to change the pin (12) for the water valve, so long as it receives the signal from the panel I don`t think it matters which temp control is working.

I have same question,

RealOEM says there are no more then 8 different ones. The 64119122398 beeing the latest one, which would normally be put in my car as its from 01/2007.
I wonder what the differences are. Anyone a clue ? would a 64116946981 be any good as its one of the older ones ?

This is what RealOEM gives :

01 Control unit, automatic air cond., High 1 03/2004 64116944020 ENDED
01 Control unit, automatic air cond., High 1 03/2004 64116944024 ENDED
01 Control unit, automatic air cond., High 1 09/2004 64116946981 ENDED
01 Control unit, automatic air cond., High 1 03/2005 64116956827 ENDED
01 Control unit, automatic air cond., High 1 09/2005 64116950634 ENDED
01 Control unit, automatic air cond., High 1 03/2006 64116978435 ENDED
01 Control unit, automatic air cond., High 1 09/2006 64116988504 ENDED
01 Control unit, automatic air cond., High 1 03/2007 64119122398

Got to say big thanks to Blood, almost finished the AC High today just some coding to finish it, i used a 64116956827 controller on my 2006 and it works fine.

Do you need the pin outs for the condensation sensor?, did you do the solar sensor?

Blood

Once this is fitted do you lose any controls that you had before? Also which new features does it give

Also what sort of price does the connectors come up to and solar sensor is this a must or can you do without it
