1. fit a new climate control panel with the heated seats buttons
2. Wire ups the seats
3. Code the new climate control panel.

I've purchased a new climate panel from ebay, when i've plugged this in and I expected the panel to work as before but without the heated seats lights working. Coding would just be a case of enabling the heated seat buttons

What it actually does, the rear demister LED flashes and the other buttons and knobs don't respond. The display only has a couple of things illuminated.

Is this because i've bought an incompatible panel for my car? Or does it need more 'Coding' to work? I can't find any posts on the forum that describe the symptoms i'm seeing.

My old panel doesn't have any part number stickers on it so I can be sure what i've got.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thank,

Simon
Search for the LCI climate panel retrofit threads. Some have pictures. Check if these match your new part. If it matches, there is a bit more to it then panel part.
