Losing Auto A/C Climate Control after changing Head Unit.

[Sailor]

Hi all,

 

I'm thinking of replacing the current stock audio unit (of my Hyundai Veloster) with Alpine ICS-X8.

 

Problem is - While the switches for the Auto A/C climate is separately located, the "DISPLAY" is integrated into the stock audio head unit :angry: I was trying to find out more, by googling, to over-come this issue but it seems that it's either not an issue or nobody seems to be talking about it.

 

Hence, I was wondering if anyone here encounter similar issue and had overcome it (or had given up) ? Will I be losing the ability to display the Auto A/C Climate if I insist on changing into 3rd party head-unit ?

 

PS: Hyundai Service Center's technician are equally clueless.... Sigh.

Add an aftermarket processor and you can start enjoy better music. Need not have to change the Hu actually. If you want pefection, then the source must be clean and HU needs to be change.

Anyway, stock H/U has been changed to Alpine H/U. In fact, I'm not missing the Aircon display since there are only 4 air-vent modes and it's easy to remember. As for the auto-climate temperature, I went by gut-feel, i.e. if it's cold, I'll tune up. If it's warm, I'll tune down ..... hence, all problem solved and display is really not that necessary ;-)

Hi Sailor, 

Which workshop you went to? Just bought a veloster, wanting to change the HU also. 

 

My existing workshop say cannot change the HU since aircon is integrated in the stock HU.
