Hi all,

I'm fitting heated seats to my 2006 A3 Sportback at the moment and as part of this have installed a 2010 climate panel with heated seat switches. Problem is now when I press the AC button on (previously labelled ECON) the blowers stop blowing and I get no air con. Leave it for a while and turn AC off and the blowers start up with a brief blast of ice cold air. Obviously the AC does work just isn't being controlled properly.

I've read a couple of posts that say the 2010 climate panel isn't compatible with a 2006 heater but also have seen something about a way around it. Any ideas as I really want to keep the shiny new panel but need AC with summer on the way!

You need to check the wiring for the connector on the back, see what the differences between a 2006 and 2010 car are - you might need to move a wire or two.

Checking the coding with VCDS wont do any harm either.
