Hi, just wondering if it's possible to switch the console wood panel and window switches from a gen2 car into a gen1 car? I think I remember seeing that the second series cars had lighter gauge wiring there, so do they just operate a relay somewhere or do they work the window motors directly? At least you would have to re-wire the new ones in, but is that possible?
From this:
To this:
I'm thinking of ordering a new one, but much prefer the newer style with the individual buttons.
The other thing I noticed was that the second series cars climate unit have a slightly different push-button layout. Is the difference just the push-button unit or the wood panel as well?
Last question is whether you can do the same for the sunroof switch. A while ago I put in a gen2 front head liner where the interior light is, since it has a better reading light, but realised the sunroof switch is there. I guess the simple solution is to put a factory blanking plate there but could you wire it in? Is it also possible to retro-fit a tilt and slide sunroof or does the bodywork not allow it? (dramas I know).
