I am new here so forgive me if this is a silly question (also posted in the electrical forum)...
We have been looking for a 99' Expedition with the Eddie Bauer package but settled on a low mileage 99' XLT with the sport package (Wine Red/Gray with gray leather interior). Now our car seems to have almost every Eddie Bauer option installed except for the electrically controlled vented rear windows, the really cool 'digital' climate control, and the digital information center in the head liiner - you know the thing above your head with the compass and miles to 0 counter.
Now in our car there is a plastic blank in the place where the module would be located. I called a local dealership and the info module only costs $160 so I am wondering if (1) the wiring to plug the info module is behind the plastic blank (2) if so, after purchasing the info module, can I just plug it in and expect it to work or is there an 'ECU' type module that also is required. Finally, along the same lines, if I can find a digital climate control in good condition at a salvage yard, are these plug and play modules - can I just swap the digital for the analog or do they have mechanical versus digital interfaces with the Eddie Bauer package that would prevent such a switch?
Thanks,
Michael
P.S. - This affliction of upgrading perfectly good vehicles is the result of owning a Mazda Miata. You would not believe what you can do to those with a little imagination (and a lot of money)!
