2010 Jetta Climatic Control Retrofit?

[ewoo]

Hey guys, yesterday, I took in my GTI for service and the got a ride back home on a 2010 Jetta. I noticed that it had a set of HVAC (Climatic) controls I'd never seen before...

I'm in the process of upgrading from Premium 7 Headunit to a RCD-510 and I thought that it might be a better fit cosmetically.

Any of you know if I can retrofit these controls onto my mk5 GTI without much issues? (Aside from the seat warmers not being hooked up on mine.)

I've heard the climactic retrofit is one of the hardest to do. You have to basically take part the dash and install sensors. :iono: someone correct me if I'm wrong

Or are you just trying to do this knobs?

Both are CLIMATIC (basic) controls--not CLIMATRONIC (dual-zone).

Part numbers anyone?

It looks nice, but I had the climatronic and it's such a small car, you can't really have 2 zones going. It works, but not great. Also, I remember VW having a TON of electrical issues with it a few years back. Not sure if those kinks were worked out, and how that would/wouldn't affect your mod.

If you do it, I'd love to see a build thread with some pics.

Looks like you'd just need that bezel, and the control plate. I bet it just hooks up. We need part numbers.

From what I heard new climatic uses motor to change air blow direction
Old climatic uses cables.

This is true. It could be done, it's all MKV parts, but you'd need a new HVAC assembly, wiring harness, etc.

If it needs a new HVAC assembly, I might as well go all out and install a CLIMATRONIC unit--like what malooshek (vortex) and http://furmanka.blogspot.com/2008/12/mk5-klimatronik-climatronic.html

I just need to find the time take apart my car for a day or two...

malooshek at vortex did the complete install. You should ask him questions--he's usually very helpful.

I was more interested in just replacing the front control panel for the new cliMATIC--not climaTRONIC.

ewoo, I see you're looking to cliMATIC.
I hope you can find the part number for cliMATIC.

Thanks for the info on climaTRONIC.
