Default Upgrade climate control

Does any one know if I need some sort of conversion kit if I want to upgrade my 2002 Honda Accord's Manual climate control to an Automatic climate control?

Converting from manual to automatic would require ripping out the dash, and replacing the wiring harness. In addition, there is a temperature sensor in the dash next to the steering wheel, an ambient temperature sensor located in the front bumper, and a sun sensor in the middle of the dashboard at the base of the windshield.

Installing these 3 sensors/harness and getting them to work properly could be done, but it would take a lot of time, effort, and more money than it's worth.

You are right, doesn't sound like it's worth the effort. Thanks for the info.

to convert you have to add the outside temp sensor,inside sunlight sensor,inside temp sensor also the fan speed resistor . and repin the plugs and run seperate wires to sensors and use a small fan like the old legends for the inside temp sensor and you don't have to pull the heatercore to add the air line to the temp sensor it's alot easer then putting that control in a 5thgen like I did
