Am I right in thinking that the LCI panel has "Auto" written on the centre knob, where as the non LCI has "off"?

Cheers.
Thats correct.

Blood, I assume the dual zone climate control will not work even after coding?
Also the solar sensor step, is that optional? Where do you get those 4 pins from, you mention that the basic AC has two plugs :- X01130 12 pins and X18793 18 pins.
Where did these 1,3,4,2 pins come from:

1--------------- 10
3 ---------------11
4 ---------------12
2 ---------------13

X01130 or X18793?

No, the dual climate will not work, you must adjust both temp dials to the same temp. Did you follow the guide at all? pins 1-4 are the solar sensor pins and 10-13 are on X1527 (blue plug). The system works much better with the solar sensor.

Hy BlooD,

just one question, is it the same way of connection between an LCI panel and on an Pré-LCI panel ?

i received my new LCI panel, and also i've go from one friend a Pré-LCI panel so may i can try to connect the old one, in case i made a mystake, and if it work well i will put the new LCI panel.

let me know,

thks

p.s : you don't have picture of your DIY ?

No pictures sorry, I did the DIY after I did the fitting. You need to find pin 21 of the blue plug and cut the wire leaving enough on both ends, take the wire sticking out of the loom and run a cable from it to the ground (brown) wire in the two pin plug then add a length of cable to the wire attached to pin 21 and fix that to the power wire (red) on the two pin plug.

thks for your last BlooD, in fact i send you an email few week ago concerning the modification from basic to high.

i made this modification, but i made a mystake between the black connector and the blue connector. do you have the original schema before the modification to find what color correspond to what.

thks for the help...
