Default Installed MACARBON Climate Switches Today

I installed a set of MACARBON Climate Switches today. Blown away by the OEM quality/fit and I like the original "soft touch" feel to the switches! Communication from MACARBON was what you would expect - prompt responses and professional. No issues at all on the install which took me about 45 minutes to complete.

Also replaced my radio ***** which were worse than the Climate Switches...

Very pleased with mine. Core return packaging was super easy as everything was supplied, including the return label.

Looks great. I need to do mine but am nervous, thinking about paying someone. Did you just watch the video on removing and reinstalling and any tips?

Very good instructional video and was easier than I thought it would be!

Nice work. Yup, no reason to guy switches from anywhere else. The MA Carbon ones are great.

I just replaced mine this weekend, I agree that the MACarbon pieces are some high quality kit.

But man, my old ones looked way worse than everyone else's!

Yet somehow my radio buttons are in perfect shape.

I don't believe Porsche sells the HVAC toggles separately, just as part of a new HVAC unit. So the question then becomes what's the advantage over MA Carbon vs the other refurbishing or replacement toggle providers. That answer is quality, fit and finish, communication, and integrity.

I sent mine to MACarbon and they did the refurb. Was just a small fee

Just ordered a set and will do the install myself after watching the great video that was recently posted. Two thumbs up to the producer.
