FORDTECH,Maybe you know the definitive answer to this?I would be keen to buy a premium ICC if I knew it was do-able! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that all other functions including heater work as per normal.My guess is that you can upgrade regardless of wiring loom - even ute.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

The Fairmont has the dual zone climate control and premium audio. It also has trip computer and traction control functions. I doubt that a RTV has the needed wiring to give you these options. You might find yourself chasing wires all over the place. You might find it cheaper to just put an aftermarket system in where the tissuebox is or in the glovebox as it would cost a lot less and probably be better.

Someone also said you cant put a decent system in a BA when they came out and now look what I did t that hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
