Ok, a small update - yet, a significant one:

This is my standard Manual Control ICC (Integrated Command Center), that performs audio, and airconditioning functions. It will display radio frequencies, audio data, and aircon fan speeds etc on the mono-color LCD.



Well, I had decided to keep in line with this statement in post 1:

Goals:
1) Most important is the factory look! The mod must/will not detract from original factory looks...


So, I decided the best way to get full-blown factory LCD TFT Color screen, is to update to the Auto ICC Dual Zone Climate Control unit - spot the difference:



In this pic, please ignore the bubbles on the LCD - it still has protective plastic cover over. Why?

Well, when I purchased the unit of another person, it came with the screen damaged - see areas circled:



After some discussion/negotiations, the Seller was kind enough to contribute towards1/2 of a new TFT panel, and I got this:



and fit this:


So, now I have a brandnew LCD TFT color screen in my new ICC, which I will retrofit to my UTE as soon as I return from
Finland next weekend.

a Few things more to do, like external temp sensor, and wiring looms to be fitted - sensor is located in the passenger mirror, so need to replace the complete unit, plus passenger door wiring harness.

Also need to add another actuator, and split airbox shafts to allow dualzone independant climate control, but at least making good progress.

What you guys reckon?
