hi to every one on this site,:) im new on here and wonderd if anyone could possibly help me?.....I am now the proud owner of a fiat stilo 1.6 16v active a/c, its only done 47000 miles and drives like a new car, i love it. my stilo at the moment has the manual heater control panel with the 3 control knobs on and i was wondering if i could buy and fit the digital lcd heater control panel, would this fit and if so how easy is it to do?:idea:
 
Congratulations on your new car!

I think the digital panel can be bought and has the same dimensions, so it might fit. But... as you've already noted the current a/c has a mechanical control panel. With the knobs you are moving cables and these move valves, etc. The digital panel sends signals to actuators, which your a/c unit lacks. The digital panel is used for climate control and regulates the temperature for driver and passenger. So there are also several (temperature) sensors involved that are missing with the mechanical version.

If you really want to go that way, you would have to replace the heater / a/c unit. And install several sensors. Don't know if anybody has done something like that before, but I think you would be looking at quite some material costs and labour.
 
no you can't the electronics in your car uses a 'Can-bus' network of modules to communicate. fitting it would require reprograming the system as well as the extra wiring sun load sensors cabin temp sensor and maybe a few more.

not impossible but completely impractical
 
thanks lads :worship:, ill give that up as a bad idea then shall i, just thought it would make center console look better and be more sophisticated. are there any good mods you know about for the stilo interior as i realy want to sproose the interior and outside up, i dont mean i want it done to the max, but i realy like the car and will be keeping it for a few years, i would like to have the car looking a bit special bit special......any ideas or links i could try?.....thanks again:)
 
I replaced the stereo with a JVC double din one, it also has bluetooth and handsfree. It fills the space better than a regular one IMO, also added a sub. Got the windows tinted. I got a set of black car mats with STILO embroidered in white on drivers one, from Ebay. Also bought a leather gear stick gaitor and plan to get the handbrake one when can I find one. What sort of interior do you have? If you have cloth you could always look out for a leather one :)
 
hi theres a full leather interior with door cards on ebay at the moment dont know the number i just put stilo in the search bar, keeps you buzy for a while
