My wife would kill me if...

.. she knew I am asking this question. Is there a possibility that the automated temp control system could be retrofitted on a 17 SR5 that did mot come with it? Any thoughts are welcome.
Thanks

 

Anything is possible if you believe!

 

Not easily. I started a thread about it a while ago and the consensus was no.

 

No, major differences in the HVAC unit alone. The controls would be the easy part.

 

I’d just make it so the display number changes, but the heat level stays the same. That might be easiest. I love my wife, but her definition of hot and cold changes by the minute, so there is not much point to her having control.

 

Should of gotten the tech package

 

I have the dual zone, but she hasn’t noticed.

 

Sounds like a hormone issue, if she is going threw the change there are meds that will make it easier on both of you.....just saying

 

My wife has a two degree variance in temperature. Its fucking impossible to keep it correct. I just don't bother anymore

 

Well....on the metric trucks, they gave us 1/2 degree increments, so I found out it is possible for 21.5C to be too hot, and 21.0C to be too cold.

 

Feelin' your pain buddy. . Welcome to 'the change' club.

 

Wouldn't it require 2 separate blen doors for dual climate control?

 

Try changing Your side up or down .5C, that might make her happy.

 

I thought you were going to say she'd be pissed to know you were chatting with your TW buddys at 1:00 in the morning.

I always keep a blanket and a neck pillow in the truck. No dual climate control needed.

This has worked for 17-18 out of 22 years of marriage for me. My wife can bundle or unbundle to her hearts content.

 

The math isn’t there. I’ve learned to keep it hot in the cab by default. If I’m hot, she’s good to go. But if I’m cold, she’s been dead for hours.

 

There is, it is called buying her, her own Tacoma...

 

The Dual Zone climate has worked fine in our truck. She is sensitive to temperature but the truck makes her happy so we have no issues so far

 

It ain't about the wife being too hot or too cold -- the part about the wife with regards to the temperature has nothing to do with my comment/question.
It is about how she would not like it if I spent more money on the truck The parts are sometimes available in salvage yards, and if I happened across the automatic temp controlled one -- is it a simple swap out?

 

I doubt it. Just in venting alone. Imagine you’d have to gut the dash and install whatever voodoo they have in there. The basic system accounts for one setting across all vents, so one main vent and simple controls. The other... I suppose it’s two vents routing around and with different controls. Is there even an HVAC logic board? Who knows. Nightmare.
