Addaz did a conversion. Speak to him. IIRC it's a pain.

That's funny, I took a look at your profile and you have a 2000 year 1.6 16V GLX. I have a 2001 1.6 16V GLX and it has the climate control, not plain old air conditioning. I guess the 2001 model is specified slightly better and is multiplexed, while 2000 was the last of the non-multiplexed ones? In which case, an upgrade might not be possible at all, or at least not without considerable effort etc.

Early 2001's weren't mux'd ... we've got the digital one in the 206CC and that was March 2001.

Top tip: Non plexed & multiplexed climate control units are different, make sure you get the correct type one for your car's electrical system Wink

Pass, i've never attempted this mod as my GLX had climate control fitted as standard from the factory Laughing

Addaz has done this conversion before so he will be more clued up on it then me.
