Changing BA single zone AC facia

[BAGT514]

I was looking at upgrading the single zone A/C Premium Sound facia in my BA GT to a Dual zone A/C with a DVD player. What is needed for this conversion and what will the cost be?

i think its almost impossible if not impossible,,, you need the dual zone heater box which means whole dashboard out to start with youll need (im told) a myriad of various sensors includeing the left side mirror which has the outside temp sensor.. maybe someone else can confirm what else you need but afaik it really is a much bigger job than you think.

Ive heard the same thing . But still like to hear the pro's take on the matter because if it can be done ill be interested.

we seen people doing it before. we dont get involved in this, as the job takes a lot of laboer extra parts required and could get costly.

cheers

I've taken on the challenge a year ago. All for $650 and one afternoon. My Parts:

- $250 ICC Dual Zone Premium Color, with damaged stacker (fixed it myself)
*expect to pay around 500 to 800 for a mint condition one
- $80 Complete Dual Zone Heater Box assy, with HIM and both mixer shafts
- $150 LHS Door mirror + loom from BA 'mont (non-ghia)
* optional, if you dont install this, you'll lose outside temp display, other than that I could tell no difference to operation of CC
- $120 complete Fairmont GHIA dash with looms
* If you have auto headlights, dont worry about getting this. You may use your original dash/looms.

- $50 visit to Ford to remove audio security code from ICC
