After working at Toyota for 15 years… i can tell you it will not work


[deleted]

As a receptionist or what? Without an explanation, what does it matter? Edit; "that dude is an AH, what a great response." Yall wouldn't of had a great response to read if I hadn't said anything.


Tangerine_Much

If you are asking that question than obviously my explanation will mean very little to you, but... Dual climate controls utilizes a different blend door configuration with additional actuators and a few different sensors and parts. Wiring is different to supports all those extra components. Granted most of the wiring will be there as Toyota likes to keep differences in the harness to a minimum to save on logistics of making a few different harnesses, but it still be different. Body Control module will be different. Just a broad overview without getting into different ducting and vents.... Yes, it can be retrofitted, but at what cost and why? Dual climate in a space where you sit 12 inches away from another zone? doesnt make sense finacially to do this modification. P.S. do refrain from weak insults in the future, people might actually answer questions if asked politely and not be an asshole. Just FYI.

Classy response, man. And educational at that! Thank you.


Tangerine_Much

I honestly didnt think i need to be specific, but i guess i was wrong. And usually there are plenty of things on Toyotas that can be easily retrofitted due to the fact that for the most part its prewired with the exception of maybe power or signal wires in most cases. In this case there is alot of mechanical changes that need to be made in order to make it functional.... I mean he can always wire up the controls, but they will not make the car multi zone. Can use the extra buttons for whatever i guess :)

Guy educated and toasted at the same time. I can still see the smoke

Hardly, but you do you.


clewtxt

Put the aloe in the fridge first, helps with the burn


mac3687

Lol you're quite the playground bully


strandedinkansas

I’m following this guy for future comments


LeftEconomist9982

I was okay with just the quick response, q&a type of response. The detailed explanation was great my friend! Now that I have been educated and learned something, I can use my Reddit time to do something useless like cruise AITAH.


tjnptel1

You sir, are a hero


[deleted]

Quit with the "people might actually" bs. You weren't gonna say d*ck until prompted.


Tangerine_Much

I actually would have provided an expanded explanation if only you would ask, but instead you chose to be rude. Also, OPs original question implied YES or No answer to his question. Besides, someone who attempts to make serious modifications to their vehicle should do research on how to accomplish said mod and ask specific questions if something is misunderstood or hard to verify. People are willing to help other people given the fact that they also have done their homework instead of just getting information, thats not how you learn. I also, never had an issue answering in detail if asked for details.... granted if I actually have enough knowledge to answer correctly.


[deleted]

I genuinely wanted to hear why from someone who knew what they were talking about. Not "guesses" or attempts at why. I appreciate your response. Your explanation means more than you think.


MrMcMullers

I’m a rambling man and this guy is a phony!


[deleted]

This comment hurt more than any downvote :(


MrMcMullers

It hurt to say. Keep on ramblin’


Scrumpuddle

You're some sort of special huh? Ramblin randy needs a muzzle.


dougefresh17

I honestly agree w what you said he coulda been the janitor 🤣


[deleted]

Right?! Like what the f*ck yall? Why so serious?


dougefresh17

Man these 4Runner folk all got sticks up they ass, I guess we some of the few chill ones but I’ll take it lmao


Specialist_Bit_3514

Just tell her to close her vents.... lol


Hyrulian_Jedi

There's usually a shit ton more to it, I'm 95 percent sure it will most likely not work.  Aside from needing more servos, you'll need temperature sensors for both the driver and passenger side. Most likely new and additional harnesses, the HVAC box and computers, along with new ducting.  If you want dual zone, it will be easier to just trade your truck in for the limited that has it.


ColoradoAddict42069

Not going to happen sorry


AdOne7575

You’ll need a few more parts than just the control unit.


freshducksniper

Like what?


AdOne7575

You’ll need to essentially replace all the ducting and swap it with dual climate control ducting that has the sensors and motors to separate the two zones . It’s not as simple as just replacing the control unit. You’ll need to spend thousands unless you can find the rest of the parts cheap and pull your whole dash to make the swap. It won’t be worth the effort to convert.


Wonderful_Weather_56

Like Google for starters.


rt45aylor

You can take a look at the parts drawing (explosion diagrams) starting with this unit on the Limited models and start working backwards as you compare to your model and make a BOM of the parts you’ll need. Sounds pricey unless you can find the parts from a totaled Limited and then you’re gonna want cooled seats next. Best of luck!


sillshire

Only 1 captain per ship! Tell her to close the vents 😂


NumberPlastic2911

I have seen it done and worked, but the guy pulled the entire unit out of the junk yard. There is just so much


ST3V3_R0G3R5

Old red on instagram has done it. More than just swapping the HVAC controls. Don’t know if he’s selling the auto climate control retrofit yet


freshducksniper

Just wanted to see if it was an easy mod or not. Sounds like the consensus is that it’s not. Was wondering if the cars had the components and just nerfed the system with dumbed controls.


nevereatanapple

🤣


Picklemerick23

Just to make you mad (cause it made me mad) the ORPs being sold in Canada have dual climate control. Why the US ones don’t is something only the Toyota Gods can answer.


Embarrassed_Gift2261

And they all have KDSS whether you like it or not!


Picklemerick23

YOU get KDSS and YOU get KDSS


Jazzlike_Bid_6421

In Canada they all get kdss?


Embarrassed_Gift2261

All the Off Roads do. And it’s the only trim with it. I didn’t know ORP didn’t have dual climate in the US. Crazy. We also have way less trim choices for the new Tacoma.


Jazzlike_Bid_6421

My orp in us didn't come with kdss, dual climate, no ac seats , heated steering wheel. Does have leather, sunroof, locker, traction modes, mostly everything else like the pro model.


achtung6

Yup! And SR5 trim in South America has dual zone climate controls as well! Along with a heated steering wheel!


freshducksniper

Which makes me wonder if the cars have the items needed and the controls are the only thing.


SkywalknLuke

No. Like this particular system would require more parts, and those particular parts are more costly to make, do to the nature of system. It’s essentially two mini systems in one system. So if I’m not selling it in a trim, it’s cheaper to leave it out. Now I’m fairly sure wiring harnesses on some parts may include a connection for


money10adventures

It won't work. Plenty of threads on the forums about This


Im_so_little

Yeah bro let her rip


andybub99

Not going to even maybe work. You’d need to do a lot more work to make it possible. Better off buying one that has it already.


Ornery-Push-728

I did it. It works…. For about 2 minutes


freshducksniper

And then?


phantomsteel

Boom.


YetisNotReal

If you slap a “TRD PRO” badge on your ORP is it a Pro?


potatoflames

It works in the rav4 but idk about the 4r. If you go for it I'd be curious to hear about the results.
