    I’ve got the same question. Anyone out there? Or anyone interested in splitting an order of pins?

    www.car-part.com Isn’t the easiest website to navigate but you’ll spend a fraction of what you’d pay anywhere else. You can filter by price or location.

    Ebay is good too. Because you have an 06 there will be some extra wiring and soldering involved.

    Interested in this too, the only issue is getting the materials for the wire harness itself. :/

    It's not that big of a deal, it really comes down to how well you make your harness.

    For the male and female connector

    So on a 2010, is it pin 1 to pin 16, or 13? I see diagrams showing both, most recent post shows 1 to 16

    I've been considering this for a while. Might be a thing in the future, if there's more of a demand. Unitl then, all the info and resources are available

    Hope there’s enough of a demand so I don’t have to splice wires together! Maybe this bump will help

    So glad I found this thread, I’m in the middle of searching for the climate control now for my 07 and this thread popped up.

    '09 and up doesn't require any soldering, just the harness :)
