Electronic Heating and AC control in FRS

Ok, techies, is it as simple as swapping out the ac/heat control panel for a BRZ panel, or are there other additions or modifications that need to be made.

Thanks for any ideas.

Search. It's not a simple swap by any means. If you wanted the automatic climate control you should have bought a BRZ Limited.

take a life size picture of the BRZ center control, print it and stick onto your control panel. Cut some holes so you can access your HVAC buttons. Pretend it's the BRZ controls. Win.

Wish it was that simple. Hopefully someone is going to attempt it soon. We are finding with the fogs that there are wires fully ran, just terminated just short of the fogs. So hopefully it won't be too much to hook it up like the fogs.

I know once the 10th anniversary comes out I'll be attempting it because I can get the parts cheaper than the BRZ ones.
