factory lantis climate control

ssman · 15-06-2005, 11:31 AM

hi all

i was wondering if anyone knows if the factory climate control (japanese lantis) will work in the australian model and what mods would have to be done and if you have to buy any other peices beside the temp pickup

thanks shane

Yep.. certainly does work.. Cosmo had it in his ADM Astina Hardtop.. He had a little trouble with the sensors though from memory..

i think he needed the complete japspec body loom from memory!

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH goes running from the room!!!!!!!!!

Yeah it can work. You need a few parts though;
Climate head unit
Dash loom
Blower unit
heater core sensor (and sub loom)
ambient temp sensor (and plumbing) sits behind the three slots to the right of the glove box
Top temp sensor the little dome right of the right defrost vent
Body computer (and wiring from the dash loom to the body computer to make the A/C work) I didn't have this as only the JDM wiring manual has this detail so the A/C was controlled by a switch not by the Climate Control).

What you loose;
Dash dimmer (required for ADRs)
Fog lamp wiring (my fog lamp switch became my A/C switch)

Beyond that it worked realy well and if you're in Melb and have access to a frontcut then I'd be happy to help. That way I can finaly put a tick in that box.

Else run away, far away 'cos it's a fricken nightmare and cost me more time and effort than it was worth.

Oh yeah,
Freeky side effect, the body computer beeps when in reverse gear. I think it's a Jap-Spec thing).

i think one of the extra sensors just read that you were of an older generation and adjusted accordingly :P

When it works it will defrost the screen 1st thing on cold mornings and adjust as the engine heats so you don't need to fiddle with it. It is quite a funky little device but as mine cost me nothing for the parts so it was worth playing with.

I was only kidding mate...I reckon it`s a pretty cool gadget to have. One of my mates is selling is BA hardtop for $8000. It`s a 1.8L auto(130000kms). He has some sort of climate control in it...I saw the different options displayed on a little screen. Is it the japanese version?

Rupewrecht · 17-06-2005, 12:50 PM

yeah, that'll be a JDM import. no blinkers in the bumpers too i'd bet

DrSilver · 17-06-2005, 02:38 PM

yeh!!! youre right!! he doesnt have blinkers in the bumper!! He has little round fog lights though!

hmm, you'd have to buy a door skin with it in!

DrSilver · 20-06-2005, 08:22 AM

If you want Japanese stuff, sell your car and get a JP import. Its so much easier. You will also get a more powerful engine I suppose.

ssman · 20-06-2005, 01:50 PM

if i wanted a import i would not be driving an astina i would be driving something else...besides i am doing this for fun just like people do other mods like turbo charging

DrSilver · 20-06-2005, 03:27 PM
