Air Balance Retrofit for GT43/GT53/GT63 x290
Wondering if has tried to retrofit a x290 car with the OEM Air Balance Package? Seeing how it's an available package when purchasing the car, I'm guessing it'd be possible to update the menus in the car once all the EOM parts are there.
In case anyone's been through the process before, hoping for insight in the following areas.

- Is this something the dealer might offer even if it didn't come w/the car?
- Looking for a good resource for which parts I'd need to switch out?
- Saw a similar post here about the w213, but nothing on the x290.

In case anyone is wondering, found the parts in the link below. Then to activate in the menus, you can use DTS Monaco and modify the HU55 (Head Unit) module to change settings related to air balance, ionization, etc..

Will be taking this one next month or so, may post install notes and more on using DTS for this in case anyone is interested.

Nah, gonna do it myself, seems pretty straight-forward. Link in second post sells the entire kit, then I can just go into the Head Unit and A/C modules in DTS Monaco to enable it and make it active.

Was able to put together a more comprehensive list, it includes all needed parts. Here's a pretty sweet parts site I was able to use to figure all this out, set to the page I used (if you have the 43 or 63 you can change the car in case the parts are different, I think they're the same though), in case anyone is wondering what that "plug" thing is on the part site and why it's left out, it's just a replacement plug-end for the fragrance housing plug if it breaks later (in other words, it's not needed on a new install):
