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.
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.

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.

On my 2008 I replaced the climatronic from the one where REST did not work, to 4-zone where I can read sensor values.
Deep scan will show the message that unit is not paired, but don't have any errors showing

Hello to you. I have a problem, I changed the climate control panel to the higher one in the picture from a friend, the problem with the button I have solved, air conditioning and the AC button work properly (SD coding) but could anyone send a schematic and a description of the pins of the climate panel plugs? I have a problem because after the ignition how colder there is no additional electric heater after the change of the panel (thermotronic?) And the car in the middle and the engine warm up for a long time.

Hello all,
Hoping to bring this back to gain some confirmation after digging through this thread. Something I bookmarked and have been wanting to do and a FB post spurred my curiosity to get this figured out. I have a 2005 E320 CDI meaning that I only have Dual Zone Climate Control. My understanding from reading this thread is that I can use a 4 Zone Climate Control Unit but there will be buttons that do not get utilized. It also appears that this "REST" feature is pretty handy. 2118302490 & 2118303290 Appear to be the ones that could work. Can somebody kindly confirm? Is 2118302285 another one that will work? Now with regards to a 2 Zone with a Climate Control the only thing i have been able to find is 2118302290 BUT the issue with that unit is that the knobs are in Celsius. Is there a Fahrenheit version that exists and what is the part # for it? Is it possible to just swap the knobs between my current unit and if I can find one with the "REST" button?
Thank you
