Hey Guys, I was hoping someone could provide insight on project I had in mind.
I've got an 04 armada LE, with bose but it didnt come with dual climate controls.
I ran across this on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=014&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=330222457761&rd=1

And Im wondering, if I can find the actual dual zone climate control units that fit this ac/radio surround, will they "plug and play"

dealer here said no, that if you didnt come wired for dual before, that even adding the dual control unit wouldnt help. I've grown to not trust my dealer so I thought Id come to the real experts on this one...anyone know if this will work?

Thanks!

I think your dealer is correct. There is a lot different on the dual control; different wiring, added sensors, different program in the BCM, trim panel, controls, etc. It may could be done, but it would be very expensive. You could probably trade in your 04 for a newer Armada with the dual controls for what it would cost you.

Thanks, thats a much better answer than the dealer just telling me " ....uh, i dont think that will work."
So much for the conversion!
