I did some searching and couldn't find an answer to my actual problem. I am getting my DD headunit this monday. Issue is the JDM dash conversion is going to take 60-90 days. Im not very patient of a person. Would there be any harm in running the new radio without the JDM pieces. Including the AC controller? I'm assuming climate system would be stuck on something. What would that something be?

THanks

 

you are going to have to have the JDM trim, your factory radio housing doesnt completely come out.

 

I know I need the JDM pieces to have a finished looking dash. I can use the bracket off the stock radio so that I can mount it. I'm wondering how the climate control is affected. I know I won't have any control over it to change it but I'm wondering what it will be on.

 

change it to a reasonable temperature before you take out the unit, because it will stay at what you last set it as. when i was doing my install, it took a couple of days to complete, and i rolled around without the headunit/climate control. luckily it was set to a low enough temperature and the a/c was on (this was summer time).

 

I was thinking it would be a memory kind of thing being mainly digital. So it will stay what I leave it at. THANKS! Now I can install the headunit this weekend!

 

i think as long as you don't disconnect your battery, the settings will stay

 

Well the new radio has a brake bypass (i know we're not suppost to talk about that) but it's a pain to do so I won't be intentionally disconnecting battery. For awhile anyway.

 

well, installed radio today. The controls do stay to last set. Only difference is I had it on Auto AC ECON and it changed to AUTO AC. no biggie.
