JDM Climate Control

I was wondering if anyone has or has installed/converted their American prelude's dial AC/Heat system to the JDM digital system. This includes 92 and up preludes, but most specifically the 97 and up. There was a digital JDM system on ebay last month for a 97-01 prelude for ~250 dollars. I was wondering what the quality, reliability, and skill/time required to install it was. Damn us Americans get the cut-down of most imported cars.

it's not that easy. it doesn't just plug in or anything like that. you actually have to pull the entire dash and reroute a ton of wires, and start up some new wirings that don't even exsist on usdm's. you also need the full wiring diagram for the jdm and usdm models. a buddy of mine did it, and it took him forever. and he ain't stupid.

Was he satisfied with the end result?

yeah it's cool, he likes it, but he also had a really hard time with it, and i know it pissed him off a lot doing it. he works for a strickly import buisness, so he can fiddle with it all day, but still i couldn't tell you how much wire he spliced and respliced to get it right, b/c there are no clear intructions on it from what we could find.
