hmmm bmwman528e - Curious were you talking to me. Reason I ask is because thats what I did. My aftermarkets were single stage heaters. The bmw switch and electronics are for a dual stage heater. So without the thermistor the BMW switch would not work. My aftermarket kit was for kia sorento that I crashed a long time ago. So when you say 100x easier you must have meant for me to buy another aftermarket kit. That 1 already was dual stage heaters. 2 Made for bmw 3. spend money that I didnt have to spend ? Just confused by the last post thats all.
