AC/ heater controls in place of cup holders

[DJW]

Hi Guys, I would like to do a console delete to my 02 S, but the AC/heater controls are in the console (which will be deleted). I would like to replace the AC/heater controls where the cup holders are placed up top. Is this a hard job? Are there any DIY instructions on how to install the AC/heater controls up top? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks ToolPant! As far as moving the a/c display up top, can you give me some pointers on the process to move the a/c display up top? Is it something straight forward? Any difficulties with wiring behind the a/c display that I have to be aware of? I just don't want to dismantle the upper console (actually how do you dismantle the upper console?) and not know how to actually put the a/c display in. Again, Thanks.

The AC control unit just has 4 plugs going into the back of it, each is a different size so you cant mess it up :-)

where you presently have the unit down the bottom you will have a tapered moulding around the outside of it, you need to get a new moulding from your OPC thats rectangular and not tapered at the bottom so as to fit once moved up the top.

I did it the other way around and needed the tapered moulding, it cost me about £3 so about $5

you remove the two upper panels with the switches in (these just 'click' out) to gain better access to the top area.

The AC unit is held in place by one screw either side which can be seen once you have un 'clicked' the tapered AC surround. The CD storage box also just pulls out.

once you have removed (pulled off) the tapered surround from around

the AC unit it will all become apparent

hope that help?

Thanks Perry190, I'll give a try when I get the console delete.
