Although I sold mine a while ago (build direction change) I still think it's one of the finest crafted parts that I've seen in this hobby.

Thanks for playing...

It comes with complete instructions and wiring for the Fiero chassis or the Custom chassis with "Vintage Air". Buttons light up and you get your choice of color for the backlight. Jim

Post by: No Bull on September 07, 2013, 10:05:53 AM: Riceburner makes two versions:

Fiero factory AC - His controller plugs directly into you factory harness and replaces the Fiero OEM controller.

Vintage Air - This version of his controller is made to work with the Vintage Air aftermarket AC units which you can buy from places like Summit Racing. The AC units sell for about $800 (the compact version). You can order them to provide both AC and heat and they are designed to work with just about any application.

String, could you post this information under the electrical topics? It's fine here also but long term it'll be easier to find by someone needing it as electrical topic item.

Thanks for offering to share this.

Post by: armyman on September 11, 2013, 08:31:59 PM: String you can rewire the rover one to work on a Fiero, can you also make it look like the Murcie ac control, and what would the cost be?
