    Hey All,

    My A/C button on the dash appears to be broken. The dealership wants 600 to replace the control console. But they were able to turn the A/C on and off using their computer. Does anyone know a way to do this with an OBDII link? I have an Android with an ELM327 Terminal app.

    Thanks,
    James

    Try to get a used replacement part from an ebay dismantler shop.

    I think @burna_j might have an AC control unit he'd be willing to part with. I'm not sure when/if he's planning to part with it.

    Sorry, my 2012 AC control unit won't work for him.... But you can find the 2010 - 2011 controller on eBay for about $50 and their easy to replace.
