| Upgrading manual air condition "Thermatic" to automatic air condition "Thermotronic"
I upgraded my air condition by just exchanging the operating unit.
You can download an illustrated step-by-step manual here: http://www.mbslk.com/files/artikel/thermotronic.zip
You'll find pictures with german text, but it works even without understanding the lyrics. The only tool you need is a .20 mm torx driver.
It works on a 7G-automatic as well. I can supply additional pics showing the installation for an automatic SLK as well (after I found out how to minimize them) 
I bought my operating unit via eBay for a 176 € (less than 200 US $).
Works great. Looks great. The only difference to the original Thermotronic is the absence of the dash board temperature sensor.
Greeetz, Thomas
