Since the rest of my cars are all keyless, it's a pain to have to use a key. Off to making a custom keyless-go system
Also changing out the button on the steering wheel to light up in white:

Bought off local version of ebay seats with ventilation and heating off a range rover. Was looking for seats that have arm rests attached to them since Vito has no central console.

Got the Range Rover seats installed
Making stock buttons to work to something like this. So that the top button works for heating in 3 stages and bottom one for cooling, also in 3 stages. Later on I plan repainting them so that they actually have correct icons.
Here is what control board looks like
And more wiring and coding
Also took out stock monitors to plug something else in.

Adding cruise control/speed limiter function. Had to get a cluster off a newer vito.
And of couse changing lights of the cluster to white/blue. The function of the cluster to go red in limp mode also saved.
Functioning cruise control/speed limiter
Wired up the heating element for the steering wheel
And now swapping manual climate control knobs to digital climate control. Plus changine out light to white.
