Some more updates!!!
New DAB+ RNS510Manual HVAC to Climatic- The reason for this retrofit: early in the 2011 model run, VW began installing a downgraded, fully manual HVAC system instead of the semi-automatic Climatic system used previously. This mod will retrofit the Climatic components to cars with the manual system and give you the very worthwhile feature of automatic temperature regulation.
- This DIY does not pertain to the fully automatic, dual-zone Climatronic system. If you don’t know the difference between the manual, Climatic, and Climatronic systems, go search and you'll find plenty of other posts explaining them.
- If your car is a 2010, you should already have Climatic. Some 2011s also have Climatic, some don’t. AFIK, no 2012 version of the above models have it.
Looks better too with the chrome around the knobs which the manual one never had.
