CLK350 Cabriolet
Climate Control Upgrade Question...
Hello...my 2006 CLK350 has the base climate control unit (the one with 4 knobs). I want to upgrade to the luxury climate control unit (the one with a digital display) and found one from a 2005 but does anyone know if it will fit? To look at them they appear identical...but are they really interchangeable between the two years (fit and connectors)...in other words a simple 'plug and play'. The 2005's Mercedes Part# is A203 830 33 85 if that helps. Thanks!
