    i dont really know if thats possible. the gt i think has the dual controls. and im sure lots of it is wired thought different parts of the car. i think it would be worth more $$ wise then it would be worth to do.

    but youd need the face / maybe even the radio screen i dont know if they are two separate parts. maybe even the blower with the dual control blend doors. and will all of that fit in the same place or is there different mounts and such that need to be there your car doesnt have. who knows.

    if you are referring to manual controls to auto climate control...YES it is doable, HOWEVER VERY EXPENSIVE
    New heater box assembly
    adjustment motors (if the box doesn't come with them)
    climate control panel
    dash wiring harness
    Possibly a new BCM (body control module)
    Possibly dealer programming
    Then you need to pull the dash out and replace all the parts. I did this on a gen 1. I didn't need a new junction box or programming, but the gen 1s are not as sophisticated as gen 2/3's so I honestly do not know
