Air conditioning control

Hi!

Can I retrofit manual control of car air conditioning to automatic climate control unit?
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partgrp.d...93&hg=64&fg=20

Has anyone done that already?
Should only control panel be changed or something else too?
thanks

Don't know why you'd "downgrade" from an auto to a manual climate control.....doubt anyone has actually done it here.

Is there something with the auto climate program that's bugging you?

My bad, misunderstood.

I think it's really difficult and definately not cheap because you'd also need to buy the parts that detect the cabin temp. Can't think of anyone here that's done it, but perhaps someone with more expertise might respond.

I did a little more research for you.
Looks like you would need these.

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...20&hg=64&fg=40
Looks like numbers 4, 5 and 6

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...00&hg=64&fg=45
All of these

Looks like you might be able to do it.

Good Luck

Why don't you just turn off Auto and control it manually? I do.

i don't know what else you need, but those cannot be the only things. it's just not financially advantageous to do such a project.
