I'm sure I will! Based on the youtube videos I have seen of it, it looks like a huge improvement compared to the CCC.
So I take it you found that using the old controller is a pain and you are proceeding with fitting the new controller?
Also, what did you end up doing with your LCI climate control knobs?
Thanks!

I tried switching the knobs over the weekend and it did not work properly. i think is defective. as sonn as i plug it in the AC system started to make a noise in the engine.

Got my box of goodies from Patryk today and if I wasn't so damn busy right now I would try to do the install this weekend. (Providing of course that Patryk was also available for the remote software setups). In any event I'm still missing the 2008 - 2010 AC Climate control module for my car so I want to ensure I get this before I start ripping things apart.
Nelson, how is your install coming along? Close to done as yet? I'm interested in seeing how you cut your shifter panel for the new iDrive controller. I'm still committed to getting mine cut with a water-jet CNC if my buddy can afford me some machine time. (It will be great once we have everything up and running).
Cheers!

Any ideas on this retrofit would with work if I have basic a/c controls on a pre-LCI car
