"Yes, I just found out that all US spec. 986s have the Automatic Climate Control, which is apparently optional on the 987. This unit (at least '97-'00) is actually made by Audi, while the compressor is sourced from Sanden. This Audi unit has some interesting features if you go into the diagnostic mode and can list lots of interesting information (on the display panel) which the Instruments don't provide such as Oil temp, Fan speed, real-time ambient temperature (Porsche is updated every 5 sec.) True vehicle speed (in kph), and several more.
But, a Manual Heat/AC system was produced for several ROW markets..."


Jim, that's amazing. How do you know all this stuff?
