You�re not the only one having those projects.

I have always been trying to figure out a way to realize an automatic
A/C control like in modern Audis.
This requires the possibility to mix cooled with heated air in one
heater box.

I already have a Vanagon�s heater box on my bench equipped with step
motors for the different outlets.
But I never figured a way to get the cooled ait INTO the box and mix it
with the standard output of the heater core.

BTW, the SA heater knobs are Audi 80/90 from �86-�94. Only the cable
guide behind them is special SA.
....Andrew, got my mail? I want to delete soon...
