Climate control LCD display replacement
Apparently the replacement displays are now available for the Boxster that are a drop-in, rather than requiring modification. Anyone tried one?
Note the symbols in the picture aren't the same as in my stock display (2001).

That link is for the LCD that requires "modification". The one I'm talking about is supposed to be a "drop-in".
Anyways, I bought one. With USPS and Canada Post combining their considerable talents, it should get here in about 3 weeks.
The symbols won't be stock, but I'm getting tired of the "rising sun" and missing segments, and the price is right.
Anyone interested in a full DIY?

Just finished the install. It was pretty easy. Took less than an hour and the new lcd fit perfectly. Having done it once, I could do another one in a heck of a lot less.
As far as making a DYI, with the unit I bought from Circuit Solutions (eBay), the instructions were just excellent. Step by step, with clear colour pics, and perfect English. So I'm not going to bother with making another DYI.
(BTW, I have no affiliation with Circuit Solutions)
Don't forget, with this kit, you don't get the stock symbols. But I'd rather have the Audi symbols than half-missing numbers and the "rising sun".
