Well I obtained a steering wheel with radio controls and an SIR coil from an 03 Bonny and installed it today.

Just like GMCSonoma it worked without any reprogramming of the DIM!

Makes you wonder how many other options are already programmed in and all it takes is the addition of the hardware!???

Anyone try swapping out the standard HVAC controls to the digital one to see if it works?

there are more controlls that need to be in place to add the Auto climate controll.

Mainly outside, and inside temp sensors, Relays, and prolly the Climate contoll programmer

I did not take any pictures during the process but I can write up a tech article.

How do I do this? Submit it in a PM to someone?
