you also need the ECC programmer to make the system work like the newer models

The programmer is an electrical control box that mounts below the glove box. You can recognise it by the vacum line harness that is attatched to it.

I know that it'* been confirmed 93+ that yes, they are plug and play. While I can't see 92 being different, I don't have the access to an FSM to check and say it positively.

You should know that if you do the swap, you'll lose your ability to self-diagnose any climate control problems in the future. 92 and 93 ECC'* had this feature. Later ECC'* do not.

With all this plug and play will the 99 ssei cluster plug in and work? I also used the cd from the 99 and all works except the steering wheel controls.
