Why do people need to buy the double din with the ac controllers? Don't the g's already have that? Can't they just get the ones with out the controllers for cheaper? Is there a reason for buying a new AC dash kit when you already have one?

The reason I am asking is because I want to buy a double din kit for my in-dash nav, but I don't know what I should be getting.

 

Yea HAVE to buy one. Open up your dash and see why.

 

so i can't just get the one WITHOUT the buttons??
if i DO, what's the point of the one without the controls??

Read the stickies.

 

ugh.. sorry.. new to forums.. :/

well in that case, why do they make ones W/O the controls?

 

It's not so much that the dash is available without controls, as controls available without the dash. As an electrical part, it can be damaged by shorts, surges, soda or shennanigans, so it's available without having to buy the trim to go with it. Also the DUAL button-equipped climate controls are a different part, but same trim is used, so there several reasons to list and sell them separately.

Some eBay retailers are a bit shady, and post just the trim with "Controls available for extra - call for price" so that they can list a(n incomplete) JDM trim kit for a lower price than reputable dealers.

 

Everything you need to know about what you should be getting is in my post in the sticky section:
