i know on forscan you could add the ac controls to the screen.

do cars with auto AC automatically have ac controls on the screen? I do see on the description for the product it says auto ac will Retain ac controls on screen and manual will not have.

Ya but then there would be all the manual controls existing still so adding them to the screen via Forscan would be pointless right? I have manual AC controls so I know very little about the auto AC controls. Here is what the rep recommended to me and what he was talking about.

factory usb will be retained
Manual a/c is NOT being replaced by digital only. Here is proof:

But in the same time they offer SYNC display in the screen. So I'm wondering if you still can control A/C from the SYNC screen displayed on the Phoenix unit.
No because the manual a/c controls are manual. They can't be controlled through the sync screen just like oem can't.

Auto a/c has buttons present on the sync 3 screen.

Yes controls on the sync screen would not work.

Judging from some of these questions a few of you should probably just stick with the factory radio...

So if you still have he buttons, does the space with the screen options (that do not work) just stay on the screen and becomes wasted space?
