Does anyone have any idea how I would go about installing automatic climate in my 04 f150. I have just the three dials right now and I want to put the digital cluster in and maybe heated seats. Any info would be great.

 

There is a handful and sensors that go with the automatic control and wouldn't be a simple control swap. I've never actually heard of anyone going through the trouble and expense of swapping it out.

 

I understand it wont be easy for sure. But im willing to do it. I want heated seats and dont want aftermarket ones or aftermarket switches. And the three dials drive me nuts.

 

Oh come on! Someone on here has to know a little bit about this swap. I am looking to do auto climate control and heated seats. Any info would be great. I know it has been done before.

 

I can tell you how to install automatic climate control. Please forward $1000 to my bank account, which I will give you via PM

 

Heated seats has been done before, but switching to auto climate control from manual I don't believe has ever been done, and don't know that it can be done. To use the factory system you have to have a lot of pieces including a cluster from a truck equipped with it. Let alone it all has to be programed to work.

 

It has been done before, a guy on here converted his XLT (IIRC) to a lariat but he said it was a LOT of wiring plus a few new sensors, harnesses and such. He basically said its only practical if you have a complete donor truck

 

Which guy? I would like to know how he got past the cluster swap issues. A lot of programming that is internal to the cluster.

Oh yes, i remember that thread now, pretty much have to swap clusters to get around the issues I was speaking off.

For what it's worth be a lot easier to just buy another truck with those options rather than swapping it in, but that's just my opinion. Will there is a will and deep pockets, there is a way.
