I know
Sometimes posts go dead very quick and unresolved ....
Sometimes nothing for 2years till someone else posts up something about same thing which prompts a reply ...
It's not always a success story I'm afraid

There is definitely more info than that available, otherwise I couldn't have carried out this mod on my van which didn't have any AC. There is to much info to post in the Caddy Chat section, its a lot of posts and comments to read over and besides its against form rules to do so.

On the particular thread that was linked that's all there was - unless you see different posts in that specific link ?
No doubt there is a plethora of other threads / posts covering similar topics, but that wasn't the one mentioned

It was a message of doc himself. I have a 2019 caddy maxi which has ac but no climatronic. It has everything you can think of but highline maxi‘s are pretty rare and expensive. And just for the sake of climatronic i don‘t want to overpay. I am still looking to retrofit front sensors and park assist on it but i can manage that. Climatronic is a different story though so a bi TV of a helping hand would be very apreciated.
I think the one you're after is viewtopic.php?p=355604#p355604

(Uprgrading manual A/C to Climatic in mk4?)

Which also links to

https://caddy2k.com/forum/viewtopic.php ... imatic+mod

(Manual to Climatic AC (later vans))

Which is the full instructions for MK3.

Give me your email address and I'll send it to you.

Btw, if someone can help me with a scraper or setting up httrack or similar that would be great. Saving each individual page is a pain.

Yeh, certainly feels like this forum is dying out (like many others have over the years)

Regarding full auto climatronic, I have no idea unfortunately.

On a positive note the form had its most users ever online which was 8199 on Mon Jun 09, 2025 10:00 am. So to me it looks like the form is still going strong. Like everyone else I wish DOC was around as the forum is not the same without him.

Nothing much to say really :roll:
We can only do the usual stuff like approving the new member posts, removing the spam, dodgy links and fishing posts (which can be a lot sometimes and normal users don't see them) and in general keeping the forum clean.
But unfortunately we cannot upgrade users to the higher access level, simply because we do not have that level of admin access.
It is what it is at the moment :?
