driving Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I have a dual zone 05 LGT but want to install either Aftermarket headunit OR Factory 07-09 Unit. Ive found many 07-09 headunits online for cheap but am unsure since none have the "dual zone". Will my A/C and heating plug and play/work? I dont care about different temps just want A/C and heat to work and better music. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkumaMax Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 if you have the digital controls only the digital controls will work. Manual(knob) controls only work on Manual(knob) Controls. If you are looking to upgrade to an 08 headunit to have AUX in you are looking for a P-204UH headunit. the only other way to get a different headunit is to buy the JDM climate control starts at about $350 i think.

driving Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Are the ac and radio physically part of each other in the back? I'll cut the faceplate and make it work its only bonded by the plastic part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll cut the faceplate and make it work its only bonded by the plastic part Won't work because the AC controls are wired with the Radio. If it was that easy, we wouldn't need to spend $350+ to be able to use aftermarket head units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjweb Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 What he ^^^ means is that they share the same circuit board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkumaMax Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 If cutting the A/C away from the radio was possible people would have done it by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlackPearl Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Tsk tsk.... You guys obviously didn't see the thread where the guy separated the OEM radio from the HVAC controls, spliced into the ribbon wire to get its power back, then cut and fiberglass'd the hole for the Double DIN did you? It looks possible to do, just have to have mad wiring/soldering/electrical skills. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/dual-hvac-separation-stock-radio-delete-63956.html?t=63956&highlight=ribbon Self proclaimed PNW Craiglist find of the day Champion, April 2014.

If it was that easy, it would have been done already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise save your money for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a factory head unit and better sound, just get a JL Cleansweep, speakers, and an external amp for less than the double DIN conversion kit.

AkumaMax Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 IMO not worth the Time and money to cut and rewire all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree though that it doesn't seem worthwhile. Self proclaimed PNW Craiglist find of the day Champion, April 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same thing as the cleansweep, but slightly cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
