I have an 04 F150...is it possible to switch my manual climate control gauge with a digital one simply by changing the units? using the existing wires and connections?

I'm not sure personally, but I drive a '04 also and would like to know the answer too.

I too am unsure but i know you will have to change the surrounding since the maual and digital are different in size. I also would like to do this in my 05 FX4

i know the cut out below the radio is different but im sure thats an easy fix wit a lil trimming

I found a digital unit at a salvage yard and it was the same size as my manual one...im just not sure if the connections are interchangeable.

on my fx4 its rounded not a complete rectangle

i see what you mean...I would also get the outer housing to replace the existing one...still wondering if anyone knows if it is a simple wire switch?

I ordered the Harley Bezel complete w/ AC controls, seats, back up sensor button, traction, etc. This is what I have found out as far as wiring goes. Our truck (mine is an 06 SCrew XLT) connects differently then the lariats/harleys due to the climate control sensor. I'm gonna be tackling this soon as a buddy w/ a lariat is gonna let me tear down for looks.

i did some research on this a while back, and i believe that you need several parts, which include:
1. EATC
2. Temperature Sensor
3. EATC bezel
4. Upgraded fuse panel (manual panels do not have the correct relays)

there may be more to it than that as well. IIRC, it would cost about 400.00 to do the swap if all parts were bought new through online sources.
