G30 108 BackPanel Climate Control Swap

Hi everyone, I have a question about for BMW G30 back climate control panel. Currently I have 2 direction climate control, back side control panel is manual, also there is back heated seat option. If is possible I want to swap them as automatic control panel. Is it possible and is it can work as healthy. Thanks from now. Regards,

I'm assuming you want to convert to a true 4 zone climate control? If so, it's not a simple job. It requires a lot of new parts including the front air distribution box as well. This is for an older model but the concepts are the same and if you look at the BMW parts catalog, the same parts differ on the G30 when you toggle 4 zone climate.

Hi, thanks for your quick reply, actually I do not need for true 4 zone climate control, just I want to swap manual controller with automatic controller, is it possible and also I wondered is it easy operation?

so currently you just have the "hot/cold" wheel and then a wheel to close or open each vent right?

If you want more than this, ie automatic controller so you can set temperature digitally, that literally is introducing 4 zone climate!

Okay understood, I guess there is no easy way for this operation. Thanks for your explanation. Regards,

Out of curiosity and probably not being able to completely understand what you are asking, can you post a pic of what you have now that is manual that you want to swap out?
