Again, nothing to do with me, but stumbled on this and thought it might be useful for somebody?!?

Does anyone have any idea if this just plugs in as a replacement for the dials and wheels of the manual system?

not as straight forward, so ive been told, loads of other stuff needs to be changed.

loads of other stuff needs to be changed.

Including the heater core, which is a complete dashboard-out job! Also requires some wiring harness changes I think.

Thanks guys. I'll forget about that one then!!

I had climate in my previous W202 and it was nice, but I'm not sure if it's worth the effort to install. It's canbus linked on facelift models and Steve (MBenzNL) said he could only do an installation if a complete donor car is available, not even the EPC would be much help although I do have the VIN of a C230k with climate (my old car ).
