Unhappy Digital Climate Cont.

ok well the mod that i have been wanting really really badd for the past year has come to a dissapointment I bought the DIGITAL CLIMATE control 203 830 09 85 from the Euro Guru MBenzNL (Steve) which was great to deal with.... at the SocalEURO event this past saturday....but was sad to find out that my car is one of the few that cant use the climate control i only blow air from the vents aimed at the feet...and it does not get cold or hot enough THIS i belive other then Command is one of the BEST mods and im sadd i cant do it....unless anyone has any other ideas i am selling the Climate control for what i bought it for $175....i think this was the best $175 that i could have spent on a mod that would make the interior of the car look 10X's better.....

Same here... I'll be happy to buy it from you... but how in the world would I know that is compatible with my car I also have a C240 2002. In the other hand I heard someone saying that there are only two models of that digital climate control. Probably Steve can exchange it for the other model

JIM, maybe you'll have to reset it or something like the bi-xenon.

iv tired both the 09 85 and the newer one on my car and both have the same result.... i dont think there is a way to check if it will work with which car... i talked to LorinserCclass at the meet and he said he too could not use the Digital..but others have been able to use it, like Jay with a carlsson c class and others with c230's.... so iono if there was a way to reset it i would .... this is one thing i really want i find it makes a world or difference to the interior... makes it from a "honda" to a euro car with digital stuff

Your model A 203 830 09 85 works great on the C230 and C320. Have installed mine in both cars and "NO" problem. Just my 2c

2009 C300 SPORT 4MATIC
FOR WHATEVER IS WORTH

The "09 85" version will work with 2003 C240 Four Matics. There's three of us in this forum.

Someone should compile a chart showing which versions have been known to work with any particular model and year.

A203 830 09 85

A203 830 09 85 is specifically listed as the correct p/n for the following:
C230K
C240
C320
C32

How do you know that your car is OK, or the unit is OK?
You need to try a known good one from a working similar model car, in your car. That is a 15 minute job and should be easy to do.

C320 - Sport
I have a C320 and my DCC had to be replaced (kept popping off auto). The new one happened to be an updated model (buttons a little different). When I left the dealership it only blew warm air out of my defrost vents (no matter what the setting was). I immediately returned to my deal who said they forgot to synchronize it (to the 13 motors it controls). Fifteen minutes later I left again with it working fine. Could yours just need synchronization? If so I don't know how to do this but perhaps someone does...

C230 Kompressor SPORTS COUPE
I have an 09 85 unit that at first did not work properly, but after a friend at a dealership played with the STAR System for a while it began to work, though he couldn't explainwhy becasue he was still receiving error messages on the star. However, I do know one of the things he tried was resetting the motor controles... If you have access to a STAR system try having them play with the HVAC settings.

...somehow I recall me warning you for that...eventhough this part# worked in somebody elses car with same spec - it doesn't mean it will work in your car with same spec...

You can still try the 05 85...
