Pretty old topic, but mahby interesting fact: I had a fellow student that was doing a research for a VW dealership last year. I helped her with some feedback for the setup of her research. Her dealership (which is located in the netherlands) was calculating € 122,- a hour. Her research was...

Will a climatronic system not be standard in mk8's? Would be a shame honestly.

Not that i know if it would've made a difference, but what panel version do you have? Do you have the chinese version with "clean air" or the version with "MAX AC" ?

Ah to bad, had a small bit off hope :p I'm still doing the retrofit though. If id end up getting frozen feet and having to switch modes all the time... im not sure what i'll do, i might end up taking it out after a while. The faultcodes dont bother me one bit at all. You live in the UK...

Yes thats why i said it might be able to be fixed via programming/coding. But i gues you'll have to reprogram the panel itself instead of carcoding. The panel should be programmed into something that works like the manual panel with the automatic climat regulation. Mahby theres a software...

Yes i realize theres alot of flaps missing, but not those particular ones right? As the manual unit has that mode it should have the flaps to turn both windshield and footwell on right?

I feel like this is something that should be able to be fixed/coded. I mean if it worked for the manual panel, the climatronic should be able to get this mode working aswel. The flaps are there so its not like its missing some hardware. It's pure softwarematic problem.

From what i understand is, you cant run both windshield and footwel blower right? So you either run windshield or footwel. Dont you end up switching between modes all the time? Like for example to defog windshield and your icecold feet in the winter haha

Hmm dont you end up turning defrost/fog on and off all the time?

Oh shit, wish i wouldve known this earlier. Now i gotta spend some more money on the MAXAC panel. I couldve just asked the aliexpres shop to sell me the harness without the panel :/. Going to get myself a used MAX A/C spec unit and use the aliexpres cables now.

Sweet, one more important thing; the windshield blower works as it should, so no fogged window? :P

I am VERY interested in trying this semi-retrofit. So,how many of you got it working in the end? I kinda got lost in this topic on how many of you got it working like it should (without dual zone and clean air) and others having problems. Also the almost identical profile pictures got me...

Hi i'd like to consider this aswel, so from what i am understanding, do you have manual airconditioning at the moment?
