A good price

It may not be plug N play. It may have to be initialized to your car. I purchased one and plugged it in and it blew a fuse and took out all my instruments....they returned when I replaced the fuse. I would up using only the LCD screen out of the one I purchased

were the part numbers the same or were they different?
They have changed the unit a few times over the years and it certainly is possible the wiring changed

If you plug an early climate control into a late car, that will happen as pinouts are different.

To be safe, only replace a climate control with the same exact part number.
