New climate control blinks, suggestions?

According to the manual:

"Basic adaption to the system must be performed with a new heating/air conditioning control. This is indicated by flashing of the displays for approx. 5 to 10 seconds each time the ignition is switched on. Basic adaption is performed during the system test."

The dealer needs to plug in the PST2 and select air conditioning and menu item "System test".

My understanding is that it knows it's not original and needs to be set to vehicle (I think it may have VIN stored on it, though not sure).....

The original was swapped for the re-manufactured unit, so...nope, but thanks for the input. And darn it, I don't have a shop manual. However it appears someone does...

Thank you for this info! I'm kinda irked dealer didn't know this, however they said they did a system test when unit was swapped. Guess I'll be calling them with this info and see what they say. They've always been good to me (it's a Porsche/Audi dealer, and we also have 2 Audis) so I'm guessing if I schedule a time, they'll do this at no charge.

Anyway, thanks greatly again.
