LS400 UCF20 to UCF11 A/C head unit swap possible?

[kap0]

Anyone did try maybe to swap A/C panel from UCF20 to UCF11? My screen and some buttons are totally wrecked was thinking maybe to fit a bit newer one instead. 

Car LS400 1993 Uk model

Thinking of AC Panel from 1995+

I guess anything is possible but you need to look at 2 angles, firstly will a later unit physically fit into the dash and secondly can it be wired  up to work?

A few years ago you could purchase purchase  RHD LCD panels from the USA but unsure of the current position.

You can still buy th Climate Control Screen from America.  Its about a £100 after import charges.  Annoyingly  a LHD from China will cost $30 delivered.

I did that exercise on my Mark 1 and that had a further chip that needed to be soldered in place to convert the LHD to RHD I bought the LCD from a Chinese Guy in California and spent hours on the internet with him( subject to time zones ) in resolving issues that came up during the soldering to the board process and when completed involved 52 soldering joints. It eventually worked apart from 2s being 3s on the numerical display.

If you are going to replace the LCD take some practice at fine soldering before you start on the installation the lcd connections if overheated will fall off.
