Climate control swap

For starters I've got a 02' C240.

I searched this forum for an answer to this but wasnt able to find it. I see that people have posted about swapping out the analog climate control for the updated digital one. Sounds expensive and tough to do, however I wasnt able to find anything about swapping the analog climate control off of a c320 into a c240. They look exactly the same size with the wood trim around the control and the connections in the back appear to be identical and located in the same location. The knobs on my original control have broken and id prefer to replace the entire unit with the c320 control. Any experience with this? Thanks in advance.

Iv plugged in the climat control from my 2005 C230 into my 2002 c230 and it worked perfectly fine. I think your only problem will be getting it to fit, good luck!

I have done that. search at my topic.

but to be perfect you need to replace all the console. search for w203 console upgrade.

about the climate control, the connection is plug and play
