dj-rix Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Anyone changed from manual to electric? Want to relocate the controls to the glove box so need them to be electric. Have the complete interior loom from a Glanza with electric controls if this helps. What else needs changing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I like this idea.I was thinking of removing the standard heater unit and mini rad thats used for heating etc and replacing with a type of lectric heater thatbwould give ibstant heat on command. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dj-rix Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 I only mean the heater controls, not the heater matrix, I think the electric controls are fitted to cars with climate control, anyone ever upgraded to climate control? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd assume there's like motors or solenoids that actuate the duct direction that you'll neef Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Xpect Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 This thread made me search for some kind of electric climate control so that even on cars without climate control like mine can be upgraded to have a climate control like for example in the VW Touran of my father. There you set one target temperature and the car heats or cools the inside always to that temp. Would be awesome in our cars to modernize them. Because I think more modern cars all look boring and dull and I don't like that they are built with too much electrics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 The automatic climate control in my Legacy is fucking amazing. Has been set to 32° for months now haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xpect Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 My father has his on 20,5ºC all the time ^^I'm always gathering info on what is doable to modernize the Starlet. Only one thing I don't want to modernize are the windows, I have manual ones and want it to stay that way. I love living near a harbour or coast and if everything fails and I manage to drive my car in the water I want to be able to open the windows to escape fast. Well, sorry for off topic. But I think I'll start a new one on that, maybe others are interested in that too, although for a beginning it's rather theoretical at least on my side because of lack of money.

ChrisssAhhh Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Bump anyone find out what's needed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iGilmour Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I have done this on my glanza conversion, You also need the Engine loom aswell as dash loom. You will need to drill another hole on the bulk head to let the wires through. You also need to change your whole heating system as the manual one is controlled by a metal wire. Its alot of work for very minimal change. You might also struggle to find the correct parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
