I know you're very knowledgeable on these cars so I'm sure I am completely wrong... But I always thought that upgrading from basic to high AC also required new AC motors, ducting etc?

Apparently not, the dual temp control will not work due to the heat exchanger having two temp sensors plus there's a dual water valve but the dual temp control can be coded off, every thing else works just fine.

This will be interesting to see cause I've thought about this a long time ago, but didn't know if it's just a direct swap from the original one I have on currently.
