has any one sucessfully installed one of these in a usdm rex? my stock panel is cracked to hell and rattles... a new one is like 300 from honda but ive foudn jdm ones cheep. Any problems in this swap??

 

i think the biggest problem is that the USDM temp control is cable-driven, whereas the JDM was some type of eletronic servo doing all the work. there are old posts about this but i dont recall if they ever found a solution.

you're not alone with the cracked panel

 

its not fully cable driven as the doors/flappers are servo driven as well.....

the actual **** to control the temp is cable driven

 

i have a friend in tucson who installed a jdm climate contol in his crx. its all works fine, so it IS possible.

 

yea i have a 91 si and id like a jdm climate control
the si usdm is cable and electronic driven
im sure its posssible

 

so u guys think its plug and play?
i dont wanna buy it if it aint going to work catch my drift?

 

actually its not a plug and play...when i did my RHD conversion, the jdm harness has four plugs, plus one cable for the coolant valve...so the only thing that will acutally work would be the fan switch and maybe the lights..the other plugs don't match. I'm not sure how the others guys used them on the usdm cars, but i don't think it would be easy to do

 

is there the same # of pins on jdm on as the usdm how hard would it be to repin??

 

its not plug and play and not worth the trouble of putting it in....just buy a USDM one.... and call it a day

 

usdm one is like 300 jdm is like 155, big dif adn every usdm one in junkyard is shot worst than mine, i wonder if i just get the panel and transfer the parts over from my old one???

im curious

 

like crx girl said, dude, the jdm controls have four connections....i've got a cherry panel with the a/c button i'll sell you...let me know

 

that jdm panel is used too.......

used vs used they cost the same...i can get you a used one for 150-200 in mint condition

 

Get a US panel they are plentiful, stop trying to ***** your interior out JDM style.
