CRX Si heater control unit in wagon...is it possible?

So I got a DVD player for the wagon and wanted to install in place of the heater controls so the people in the backseat can watch tv too on roadtrips.

I got the player installed where I wanted it, but when I took the old heater controls out, they disintegrated in my hands. Obvioulsy the privious owners had some issues with it as it was held together with zip ties. Time to replace.

So Im wondering if its possible to use the softtouch heater control unit from the Si in the wagon. I would guess that its got to be a pretty straightforward swap, but just wanted to see if anyone has done this swap and find out for sure before I start the search for a new unit. Any help pointing me in the right direction for this info would be appreciated dearly!

    I used a crx heater box in my wagon. Only the lower half was useable, but that's where all the wire lever mounts are. I kept the mechanical levers, but it all swapped over to the crx box so the reverse would probably work. I'm not sure about the electrical stuff.

    Yep, wont work without that control box. Just found another control unit in the garage and installed it and called good. Happy with the swap too. Now people in the backseat can watch family guy on roadtrips.

    how is that armrest being held up?
  • Finding a non-cracked CRX climate control at a good price will probably be an issue too...and if you do, make sure you reinforce it in the back so it doesn't just break when you install it. I speak from experience here. :roll:

    It's a OEM Honda part.It bolts to the floor by brkts if I remember right.Has a storage space just enough to hold a small flashlite.

    i have been wanting to swap around the radio location with the hvac controls .

    what needs to be done to make this work?

    can i just move around the stock wagon controls with the radio i have now?

    if i find a touch version of the crx, which years will work? and is there a specific model crx i need too?
