    Hi there

    I've looked up doing this swap for a while, and i haven't found anything.
    I'm talking about swapping the digital climate controls from the Limited 3rd gen T4R, into a 1st gen tacoma, more specifically a 01-04. Is it possible at all? I'm not asking if it's easy or hard to do, but more of if it is actually possible.

    And by the "digital" climate controls in the limited T4R, i'm talking about this:

    Possible? EVERYTHING is possible.
    Is it worth doing? Most likely not.
    What do I suggest? If you want to do it, knock yourself out.

    What's a "t4r"?

    Assuming you want all the dash pieces to go with it, it almost looks like you'll have to replace everything. All the plastic dash prices from the drivers side, all the way to passenger side. Then you'd have to do all the wiring that goes into it. It doesn't look like it can just plug and play into the taco. It looks like all the curves are different but I could be majorly wrong.
