so you now have the white screen? or did you just swap the dials over to look like the new one?
That new q3 looks sick man; is there a version without heated seats i mean on that facelift q3 ??

Can't you just replace the LCD display for a white version save all the sanding if the unit and ensure a perfect fit as be using your original climate control unit

Yes you can, its also much easier to modify as the internals of the Q3 fit into the A3 (none heated seat version), I did that to mine to save shaving it down.
No you cant, the screens are completely different, nor can you simply change the LEDs

The non heated seat version just swap the front panels, no sanding required

You mean i use mine front panel from a3 and put it on q3 climate module?

Yes, the Q3 plastic front panel is too big for the A3 but the actual circuit board inside is the same size as your A3. So just transplant the board (and buttons if they don't match) into your A3 climate control and simply refit .
I wish I could have done that for my RS3 but because of the heated seats I had to trim it down, but then again I fitted the RSQ3 panel which actually looks different to the A3/Q3 panel anyways so I got a bigger gain out of it

So it appears the panel I got is the same as the RSQ3 one... makes it more of a bargain!
Do you find the Led for Screen/HVAC settings/Seats etc auto dims and brightens depending on lighting via the sensor too ?
yes although I would love to figure out how to disable it!
So the version you got has the screen covered too? it looks much better and stops all the dust settling on it
yeah that's the exact same one I have
Make sure you adjust the temperature setting 3 for your heated seats as it causes them to overheat and switch to heat setting 2... think they are set to 65'C for the Q3 and 55'C works fine for normal seats, although I still am yet to find a setting the buckets like :/
Haha I got wrong off my Mrs when I turned it down as she preferred the toastyness too
By the way since you have buckets and the same RSQ3 panel, could you do me a favour and see if VCDS lists the adaption settings? Mine just shows numbers so had to guess which was the hearing setpoint, it wasn't too hard as I knew it was set to 65... however the heated seat memory is set 'on' on the passenger side and not the driver side. I'd like it the opposite ideally and can't identify which setting needs changed :/

Hi Adi3390!
I got an A3 8PA from 2007, 8P57A (A=Plant Country=Germany), productions month 03/07.
Do you think the Q3 Climate controller will fit my car?
By the way, another question too, I have also heard that the Central-Electric-Unit was changed at some 57-plate models, do you know if this is correct? Which Central-Electric-Unit do you have?

Hello Arkious, did you find an answer about heated seat memory adaptation chanel ? I have the exact same configuration as yours and want to change it fo both seats..
Also I have a LHD unit- is it will adapt itself or it has to be reconfigured as well ?
Thank you very much
