I do. The later version looooooks way better for sure but id rather have buttons and knobs that actually do something when i push/turn it. But, its just me.

Neither! Just trying to help. If it's not needed, let me know and I'll focus on more important **** in my life. You have to understand that certain things just can't get accomplished on these cars as much as we'd like to though. I'm playing around for more than a year to build a can bus module to do something for me that MB never intended to be on board but would be a neat feature for these cars. So far no luck, but not bc I' unable to build the herd and software but rather bc MB messed up when they developed the W211. Same thing with what we're doing here. Some MY just seem like they don't like a certain AC control unit with LCD which some of you like to have, and at the same time another one would work plug and palsy but doesn't have dial knobs for temp control.

One big drawback to the LCD unit, is that in direct sunlight, the screen gets drained and you can't see much. This does not happen with analog stock unit.

The updating has worked on more than one car using facelift units. For Kushp.. it was plug and play, for me it was resetting system, and for Crafty, he wrote it worked for him too. What is mysterious here, is that Kushp..'s car is an '06, same as Drag...'s, but one was plug and play and the other has yet to actuate.

I got to install mine today, thanks Dragona5h for the detailed DIY and pics, luckily it was plug and play. All buttons work and i still have the "Rest" button.

Goodluck mate! Hope you get it sorted out! The one i bought on ebay was really cheap coz it has a scratch on the plastic screen. Theres another item im lookin at which is more acceptable but im afraid i might run into the same problem as you did. So for now ill probably settle with this. All buttons are functional, thats all i need.

Hello,
I want to replace my old panel for climate control with dual zone with part number 2118303190. Put new, take out the old, but the air conditioner even in the off position remains activated. Is there anything that should be coded with the diagnostic equipment or retrofit is impossible

My car is a 2005 E320-CDI w211.026 w/ analog AAC dual zone control unit. I bought this one off ebay & plan to install soon. I have STAR & am hoping I can code variant this unit to work for me.

Version code it and delete the (possible) faults from the donor car, 12 faults or so will return since you don't have the 4-zone flaps, actuators, 4-zone sun sensor, and air quality sensor in your car with 2-zone A/C. If you want to do a proper job, take your dash out and replace the entire A/C box. It's definitely worth the work.

I know that video. He takes more off than necessary like the center console.
You can can buy a face lift unit with display. There are diffiferent versions. Some will work in your car some won't. You would have to try different ones, too.
