I am a long time PPBB lurker and occasional poster (back in the day). I want to add my thanks to the long list appreciating Pedro for taking this on.
Forgive me if this topic has been covered before....i searched but no luck.
I have a couple of questions regarding 2005 987 Climate Control dash modules.
My temp and fan controls are suffering the common soft touch paint peeling. I am 2nd owner and my car is out of warranty, so no coverage from the dealer.
While trying to research options, a couple questions came to mind:
1) my car does NOT have automatic climate control---I don't have the "Auto" button, just an A/C button for manual operation. I have seen some used HVAC modules on e-bay WITH the Auto button, so the question is, can i put one of these in my car and get upgraded to full AUTO climate control?
2) Porsche has upgraded the dash center stack in the updated 987.....will the climate control module fit in an 05 car (i know the new ones are black and the 05 standard is silver, but other than the color, will it fit?
3) anyone else figure out how to fix the peeling Temp and Fan buttons without painting in place?
4) speaking of the dash, the horizontal panel that hinges forward for the cup holders isn't well aligned with the rest of the horizontal dash trim when closed....the gap is too wide. IS htis adjustable or is there a fix to tweak this?
Thanks a ton!!!!!
