I'm refering to the 2-zone climate panel

It is to do with the operation of the flaps.

The Econ and A/C panels do the exact same thing just a different way round you press the Econ button to turn the A/C off whereas you press the A/C button to turn it on.

The panels are exacty the same

I know seank who was a member on here had an ECON panel and when he fitted his heated seat he had one with AC and his flaps didn't work properly after. (a bit like when you fit the mk6 climate on an early car)

Before I had the mk6 panel I went from Econ to A/C and it was fine for 2 years until I put the mk6 panel in.  did Sean do the flap end basic reset?

^^^^Same here, Ed.

I was just making sure my ECON>AC swap was actually ok and it wasn't just my wishful thinking.  :drinking:

ok just got my mate at tps to check the part numbers for this and its coming back at 192.97 per seat!!!! im guessing everyone who has retrofitted these bought seats that already had heating is there any other options for me as this is not cost effective do the mk 4 elements work with mk 5 wiring i thinkg they are about 70 quid a pair
