Well, from what I've been told and was one of the main reason I did not go with a CIC is, there are several things you will lose for sure. Maybe someone can chime in here that has done this and spell out all that will no longer work. I heard there was some climate stuff...? although the CIC is much nicer, one must decide if the differences make up for it. I also was told that the programing was not easy and can be rather costly. I know someone quoted me $550.00 to just program the CCC, can't image what the CIC would cost!
