I've put this in electronics as I see that that is where I expect issues.
I have availability of the parts to upgrade, as title.
Doors, motors, controllers, dash buttons, B pillar switches. Even the wiring.
My thoughts are that fitting the hardwareshouldn't be complicated.
I haven't checked to see if there are an availability of required wiring and sockets in the Vito, but being MB possibly not.
I would axpect the dash switch cluster to just cahnge easily (I've repalced and even adapted those previously) and then just plug in.
The door pads are there so the internal wiring of the doors is no issue, besides if I use donor doors (better nick than my beat up Vito) it'll be there already.
Any thoughts on where to pick up wiring for the B pillar switches and B pillar pads would be appreciated,
same for supplying the motors and controllers whithin the rear side panels.
Then the coding, here I am lost so thought on that appreciated also.
How complicated is it to deal with MB to upgrade the data card, assuming I get that far?
All thoughts and criticisms of my dreaming greatly appreciated, better I learn I'm a no hoper on this before applying wasted effort.
