Re: JDM HVAC swap

That's pretty cool.

It looks blue. Is that the stock illumination color for the JDM cars? Do their stereos and dash lights match?

Nice work.

Re: JDM HVAC swap

No its actually green. It matches everything.

What can I say other than I like JDM parts and I like a challenge!

It still has the same outside air temp and Celcius coutdown issues that the Alcyone owners have. Hopefully one day someone on the UK forum figures out whats causes this otherwise I might have to get another unit that hopefully does not have this issue. Still have not had time to pull it back out and double check that its not a bad connection somewhere.

To those that don't know what I am talking about the JDM HVAC units have a common problem where them outside air temp will intermittently pop up and the temp will count down to 18C if you try to turn it up. Not that I really care since I live in a Tropical climate but alot of owners in UK drive around with a small shim in the temp button to keep it from counting down to the coldest setting!

Re: JDM HVAC swap

Nice job! Extra lights are always cool Will it countdown if you switch it to fahrenheit?
