Dual Zone Conversion

[Headsex]

My car is a MK2 with Auto Headlights, and Premium sound. Because of this, Converting to Dualzone is easy.

I purchased this Dualzone Facia from EBAY, It is the plastic and buttons only, there was no screen, no cd stacker and no BEM. I am using my own.

Here is my ICC as removed from vehicle

Removed the CD Stacker / Radio module from Facia. As you can see, the buttons plug into the Screen.

Here is the CD Stacker / Radio module, as well as my "GREEN" (cream coloured) BEM

Seats and Center Console removed (Handbrake needs to be removed to remove Center console, refitted so car doesnt roll away overnight)

Now for the Technical Details on what was done.

With the Dual Zone Facia Bolted to my ICC's Screen, CD Stacker/Radio Module, and BEM. I needed to take the unit down to ASL Logistics and get the unit Reset to Dual Zone (weather it be a configuration option, or a Reflash of firmware, Im unsure).

My BEM Module did NOT need to be replaced or reprogrammed, All my keys and Keyfobs work as normal (Althought, the CTS(cabin temp sensor) Calibration value needs to be entered into the BEM as the sensor behind the little grill to the right of the screen plugs into the BEM). I do not need this done, however, I've been told the BEM will be throwing codes about the CTS calibration value not programmed.

Because my car is a BA Mk2, I already have the sun load sensor on the dash, and auto option on my headlights. Nothing needs to be done here.

In Summery, To install the Dual Zone, I purchased the following Items

LHF Door Mirror (with tempreture sensor) - Brand New from Ford

Dual Zone programmed HIM - FTG Auto Salvage

Dual Zone Half Shafts - FTG Auto Salvage

Drivers side Actuator/Motor and Loom - FTG Auto Salvage

Passinger Door Loom (need extra wires for Tempreture sensor in Mirror) - FTG Auto Salvage

My Premium Sound ICC need to be reprogrammed/configured/reset by ASL Logistics to Dual Zone

I could have used my own HIM, but this would have required a drive to ford, and them to reprogram my HIM to dual zone.

Sorry I didnt embed the images, but the forum didnt like the "non picture" URL that Gallery uses. For all pictures, please goto here http://www.dannyshosting.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=330

I think I had more trouble removing the Centre Console than I did removing the dash (once I found the 2 hidden bolts in the Door Jam just below the hinge)
