heater control panels

Antz · Nov 16th, 2012, 22:53

Alright guys Ive got a heater control panel in my 2003 T4 that looks like this:

And Ive just picked up a set of heated leather from a 51 plate car with a panel like this (minus the DSA switch):

Now Ive read I cant just swap in the heated seat switches but Im assuming I cant swap the DSA button either.....or can I?

Im trying to figure out if I need to go and find a heater control panel with the DSA switch and the heated seat switches in the later style or can I cobble something together from both of mine?

Any ideas chaps?

Not only that, but your new panel is for a climate control system and not standard AC.... It should still work though, but the AUTO function will not.

With regards to heated seats and DSA you are right. Had a quick look in VIDA and there is an option to enable the heated seats. Not sure about DSA though

Balls. I got the new panel cos I remember saying you need the switches, was hoping to swap them out but evidentally I cant do that. Not a fan of the look of a climate panel, the auto is a PITA, I like to be in control haha =p

Will it be easier to try and track down a normal panel like mine with both the DSA and heated seat buttons from the factory? (unicorn anyone?) You havent got one in your stash have you Gatos? =p
