Thanks a lot BLooD. However, could anyone share detailed DIY for this. Also I live in Netherlands, where can I source all the materials from. In ebay I can see that I can source the automatic climate controls, but the wiring and other stuff, where can I source it from?
Where does the condensation sensor goes? Do I need to completely take off the dashboard to install the solar sensor?

The condensation sensor is stuck to the windscreen just under the rear view mirror mount and the solar sensor is fitted next to the centre speaker (new trim is needed for this)

Dont want to sound rude but have you read any of this thread? I posted my DIY in the first post on page 1.

I read the entire posts couple of times. But it mentions that LCI wiring is different, and in one post it mentions about splicing a wire. Just confused BLooD. Wanted to know upfront better before buying the car with basic AC, what needs to be done and how difficult it is.
But still confused about how to get the wiring from the solar sensor. Also, is the connector for the condensation sensor already in the mirror base cover, dont need to pull any wires?Thanks again, and hope not to sound stupid.
