So, I know some or all gt3 996s did not come with AC and this is the fan control unit that they get. Maybe some AC delete guys have also retrofitted the same unit.
Porsche part number 996-572-101-00-01C. Not sure if the trim piece is a separate part number. Let me know if it is.
This unit is very similar to the one that came in the VW mk4 golfs and jettas with AC and no AC, also they are significantly cheaper. VW part numbers are 1J0 820 045 C and 1J0 819 045 C respectively.
I don't like the backlit display units on the 986 as they seem a little outdated to me, and these VW units can be modified to have a more modern look.
So the question is does anyone know more and have researched these? and will the VW parts fit the 986 with their trim pieces?
