burtdidit Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I was wondering if anyone has tried to switch the climate control with the radio? They appear to be the exact same size. The reason I would like to do this is to be able to see the mygig system better if it was up higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burtdidit Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Here is a pic of the climate control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I think you can not swap them. The climate controls are in two pieces, it is not one piece like the radio.If you look at the picture, the rear climate control is one piece and the front climate controls are another piece (the piece includes the screen and the two buttons).

I am going to have to try this. I think that the climate contol unit may look like two pieces, but are joined by a common faceplate. The only problem I may run into is the depth of the DVD player. Did anyone try to do this? Just want to know before I rip into my wifes Journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 You can try, but I'm pretty sure it is two pieces with no common faceplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W_A_Watson_II Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Looking at the pic installation viteo, I'd say no easy swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Looking at the pic installation viteo, I'd say no easy swap. you can't , well from what i see for now ... i already pulled out the central part ... climate control is one piece about 2 inches deep ( 3 zone ATC ) and absolutely nothing behind it : big empty hole ... on the bottom there is some rails so you can slide the radio in ... there is nothing like this for the climate control ... if you pull the central piece , the climate controls come with it .. and you have two connectors to unplug : one for the climate control and the other one for all the button above ( eps button , heated seat .. etc ).... no easy modding here ... anyway .. i need to remove it again for my custom GPS screen and back up camera .... i will have more time to look at it and figure if something can be done... i don't remember if the rails can be moved. if you need to hide stuff .. thats one of a hell spot ... lol )) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Climate control in one piece! Good to know! Is the wiring long enough to do the swap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Climate control in one piece! Good to know! Is the wiring long enough to do the swap? For the climate control yes , there are long enough. Don't know for the Radio i didn't need to unplug it for my mod. Now in the picture burtdidit posted above, you can see the 3 zone automatic climate control. The black trim you see between the front and rear control is part of the central piece. So if you want to fit the radio in there you will have to cut it. like i said i need to remove the central piece again ... so i will try to snap to picture and post them here maybe tomorrow.

You make it yourself or find it somewhere? Just wondering, I haven't found anything out there yet to make the GPS look factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
