Luckily mine wasn't too bad to do. I believe it is a minefield in regards finding the right panel that will work. It is plug and play but you have to swap 2 cables over so it keeps the memory after the ignition is turned off. You can get issues where the AC compressor doesn't start or cuts out after a few mins depending on panel/ecu combination. I tried 2 different panels, an ER and a BC which is the one I have settled for. Both worked fine but with the ER one being newer it would flag a 'missing messages' error. This is something to do with the way it communicates between the other modules in the car. The earlier BC panel doesn't flag this. The only one I get is an air quality sensor fault just because it isn't there but can be retrofitted at a later date.

Hi Matt,
I have a mk6 ER climate control that I want to install in the car.
Exactly what cables did you swap (A,B,C Connectors?).
Your car is 2008, right?
No issues with the climate control till now? Does the air vent above the dash still work?
Cheers! :notworthy:

Hi Rex. I followed this guide ----> http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4938269-OEM-MKVI-Climatronic-on-a-MKV-on-a-RNS-510-Screen-installed
I just swapped the wires of 16 and 20 around. I decided to cut and resolder as the wires are of a different thickness so even if you release the pins the will not go back in the other plug. This was only in the A connector.
Yeah mine is a 2008 model. The ER panel was the panel that gave me the 'missing message' fault although it seemed to work fine. I settled for the BC panel. The only fault I get now is because I don't have the air quality sensor connected.
No issues with the BC panel. Everything works as it should. Hope this helps mate :happy2:

Hi Matt and thanks for the reply! :notworthy:
I saw that thread (a a few other ones) but I though that for your car it was easier (the car in that thread is 2007).
Did you do the First and Second Step (as described in that link)?
I have some spare A, B and C connectors and I saw that wire 20 has a different plug but it seemed to be of the same thickness with the rest (unlike 19 for example). I also think that cutting the wires is the way to go since modifying the plugs is much more complicated. Did you leave the original pin 20 unplugged?
I also have the air quantity sensor but I think installing it will be a complicated job. I'll see how it goes...
