Hi all,

Due to some clown attempting to steel my stereo I have had to replace a few parts and I am having serious trouble with one bit. Basically I have ordered a replacement air con control unit and the one that was sent to me differs from the one in the car, although the part number is the same. The only difference is that the new part has a raised plastic lip towards the top of the plastic front cover, so really can anyone help me identify which model R34 it came from?

Here are some pics of the item and a close one of the lip.

Thanks

if thats NOT what you need I beleive I have the other one at the shop. alomst looks series 2 to me. give me a shot of it from the top and give me your chassis number and I'll tell you.

Heres a picture for you from the top

and if you can make it out this was the unit that was in the car before the damage, you will hopefully see that it has no plastic lip

Bit more info for you Chris... The chassis number of the car is ER34-001572. The item I bought is not as long as the original its about 1cm shorter on each side. Quite puzzled as to which car it came from as its clearly not for my 34

need your model # as well (or a shot of your build palte.) my oct 2010 japan fast doesnt like your car so I need to 'force' it to looking it up.

If your new one is shorter.. I'd say it was out of the 34 with the pop up screen as the screen controls sit under the vents.. pic is related

Now that is interesting, I think we may have found where the controller came from. I have looked at the picture closely and it would appear that you are right, the dimensions do seem to match with what I have been sent. At least I have some idea as to which model 34 it came from, that way I can maybe ebay it and recover some of the money I paid for it.

I will take a pic of the build plate and send it to you Chris as soon as I can, as I still need the correct one to replace the damaged one.

Thanks all :ermm:

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
