Exclamation

Hope you guys are made of Money!... It will cost a pretty penny... there is more to this than plug and play the heater core to start with is different... plus the wire harness ( car side is different ) and all of the other bells and whistles that you will need to make this work.... is ... just ... not ... worth it ... unless.. $$$ is no object... 3000$ +~- 500$.. and plus you would have to get that from oversea`s.. so add the british pound to dollar conversion into the figure..

It's Automatic Climate Control, as far as I know. Same difference USDM vs. EDM/JDM for the first generation. It would probably cost a lot, as you'd have to change the whole air conditioning unit and all. Possible? Yeah. Feasible? Not very, unless you bathe in Benjamins.

The two switches on the left side are accessory switches. Foglights, side-view mirror heaters, whatever they have overseas.

Actually one is for the Fogs and the other is for headlight adjustment on the HID headlights ( One other option we get screwed on )..

whatever they get overseas = HID adjustment controls (Well, HID by itself, too. I wish we had HID headlights)

Yes, nice climate control knob! Gives the dash a more upscale look. Notice the different shifter too.
