Can the Highlander's manual air conditioning be converted to automatic air conditioning?
2 Answers
Highlander's manual air conditioning can be converted to automatic air conditioning. The following is a detailed introduction to the Highlander: 1. Introduction: The Highlander is a vehicle produced by Toyota, a large-size SUV in the Toyota family. It features a spacious body with innovative and roomy interior space. Moreover, the Highlander comes standard with the highest level of safety equipment in its class. 2. Exterior: The Highlander boasts a fashionable and noble appearance, elegant and imposing. The triangular headlights, hexagonal angular front grille design, integrated Toyota emblem, thick chrome decorations, fog lamps embedded with chrome parts, and the slightly forward-leaning front styling give the entire front face a fashionable and three-dimensional look. The robust waistline running from the front to the rear, protruding fenders, black side skirts, and chrome door sills make the body appear solid, elongated, and dynamic.
It is indeed possible to convert the manual air conditioning in the Highlander to automatic air conditioning, as I've seen some modification cases. The key is replacing the entire system, including sensors and the electronic control unit, which can be done at a regular repair shop but requires professional operation. Manual air conditioning relies on manual adjustment of the fan and temperature, while automatic air conditioning automatically senses the interior environment to adjust airflow and mode. During the conversion, it's crucial to ensure compatibility with Toyota's original parts or reliable aftermarket components. The modification involves extensive rewiring, which may affect the warranty or cause circuit issues. If the materials are cheap, it might be acceptable, but the overall cost is not low. I recommend finding a reputable modification shop and conducting a comprehensive evaluation before deciding to avoid wasting money on an unfinished project. After the modification, the user experience will improve, especially on long trips, saving time on manual adjustments, but maintenance frequency may increase, so attention is needed.
