[legacysti05]

HI does anyone know if the auto climate control in the GT will work in the 2005 SUBARU LEGACY 2.5I. Is it the same wire harness? will it work? THANKS FOR YOU HELP.

The answer is yes, and no.

 

You could possibly make it work but its much more then the control, you would need to buy the entire auto HVAC system, which includes a computer, some special tubing, and about ohhhh a few hundred in parts, you would have to take apart your entire dash and pray that you got everything in the correct OEM location and would probably have to replace some of the vents as well.

 

So if you are sane.. No

 

If you are that crazy about getting an auto climate control system that doesnt work that well and willing to spend about a grand in time and labor, yes.

 

Also remember the auto climate control and the radio are one piece (in the GT and the limited+SE), so you would have to spend $650 out of the gate just to get the raido and the controls then whatever parts you would have to replace the entire guts of a/c dash

i dont think the auto system is that great. most of the time i have to adjust it manually so you wouldnt really be gaining much.

 

my 2cents

dont do it. too much effort and money. and then you wont be able to mod your radio as easily.

i never got used to the auto climate systems in other cars... personally i love the manual climate controls...

 

i still find myself constantly adjusting the setting with Auto controls
