Default AC Control Upgrade?

Can you upgrade/change the AC control unit to a digital one (2018 XLT - 5.0 engine)? I wanted to see what options there were, if any. If you could help provide any information I would appreciate the help and/or feedback. Thank you.

Sorry if that doesn't make sense. The AC controls on my F150 are ***** you turn for temp settings and fan setting. No digital display or buttons to depress for adjustments. I didn't know if that could be changed to a digital type display with no *****. I've never seen it, but thought I would ask on this forum since there are a lot of people with more knowledge than I.

Thanks.

I'm not quite sure what the point is... but if you really want digital controls, you could replace the entire center stack with the Linkswell Android radio/nav/etc. system. Not cheap, and there are some issues with how the unit performs: http://www.linkswellinc.com/products...t-style-radio/

On my 2015 you can use FORSCAN to change one quadrant of the sync touchscreen to be HVAC controls. Not sure what would be involved with using that option and then eliminating the *****.

Has anyone done something like what these two sites show? I would like to retain my factory radio, but the CD player I can live without. This is what I was interested in, but wanted feedback, if possible.

Thank you all.
