Omg yes!!!
That website also has a few more of them (blue) in LHD. Theyre all selling for around 250.. compare that to 1300 ish brand new! so if anyone else plans to do this, there you go! :) the one i posted from finland above is orange. so i wont buy the control unit, but i can still use the rest of the parts! |
Ok I must be stupid, but I tried to google that name. Can't find the website.
Got a link? |
subbed! and good luck with this awesome DIY!
|
Whoops my bad, i shouldve posted a link. it was really hard to find this, so im not surprised google didnt turn it up. i had to use google.se to find it!
Bildelsbasen.se - Used auto / car parts that should be in english, they have two 2009 units and one 2012 one. Im about to buy the 2012 one..so DIBs!! :P trying to see if i can negotiate the price as they want 100 bucks for shipping :/ they dont have access to the rest of the car.. but they could have other honda jazzes. if not theres that jazz i found earlier from finland, or i could just source a RHD wire harness and buy the rest of the stuff new! either way, itll work out.. this stuff moves slow cause they're usually only open while we sleep, so we can only do one email a day... time to play the waiting game |
Just ordered the item pictured above from them. The final price was 1800 SEK with shipping included. That's about 280 bucks with shipping.. Not bad considering new is 1350 + shipping.
..They've got 2 more left! .. Also I've managed to finally get in touch with an english-speaking contact at the junkyard in Finland. This is getting closer to finally happening! |
Awesome. Good luck man.

Any idea if this will work with the Honda remote start auto heating and cooling feature?
|
If you can pull this off, I'll most certainly be next in line to do this swap!

You should try to find out if Honda simply added on an external unit for this feature in EV. Would be nice to have for those that want it. @clownassasin Don't worry, this is definitely happening ;) |

Are you talking about the fit ev one? I don't have the service manual for the fit ev, but I would say it doesn't work with that. This is because 1) the only data communication the climate control unit has is through the b-can, and 2) there would need to be some sort of add-on module to speak directly to the CCU.

Well I am interested in this mod myself. I installed the OEM remote start kit which is for more than just our FITs. A feature of the remote start is it will auto cool and heat (depending on the temp inside the car) when you start it if the car has auto climate controls. I have no idea how it works. Just interested in if it is possible to get it working. I will try to do some research on this but I have no clue where to begin.
id start with asking honda how this unit communicates/connects with the climate control unit. let me know what they say. |
I just made an interesting discovery regarding the parts.
apparently the RHD has the same servo part numbers as the LHD. in addition to this, the sensors are the same part numbers, as well as the sub harnesses and power transistor. I will try to confirm next week if these are really the same from the car breaker in the UK. If they turn out to be the same, this would open a lot of doors for being able to find cheap parts. it seems to be a lot easier to find "RHD" parts for this online than the LHD ones. Lets hope theyre really the same. Btw, my climate control display assembly is now in canada! should get it in less than a week. |
Honda is like LEGO, but you have to find the right stones. :nod:
|
Lol, except there are no instructions and the parts are on the other side of the world :P
|
Sub'd!!
Seriously hope this works!! |
Well, after being stuck in customs for a week. My ACC unit has finally changed hands to FedEx, and will be here on Friday!
I've given up on the Finland guys cause they only reply about once a week, I've basically been sitting here for a month trying to get solid replies from them. so here's where I'm at with all of this: Getting the wire harnesses and connectors plus sensors from the UK. Will order in the next week or so. The motors and and blower unit I was trying to get from Finland, but have decided to give in and buy new from lings. Will order when funds allow, so probably won't have all the parts till the end of the month. |
