I see your point. I don't have air con but I do have a button under the twirling knobs which goes orange when you press it and I think it is to circulate the air. Would I be correct in saying that the LCD display regulates temperature and if you don't have air con like me, then you can't fit such a panel because as you say - my car blows hot or cold?

I think (yes only think) that you'd be in the same position even if you had air con or not, it would be very, very difficult to upgrade to the LCD panel (Climate control) due to the number of additional sensors required external and internal to the cabin.
If you have a snow flake button then it means that you have Air con. Air con is massively different to climate control from what I can see, CC monitors the internal cabin temperature at every level, headliner, dashboard and feet as the basics, on top of this are an absolute shed load of other sensors all monitoring inlet and outlet tempretures to maintain a stable 'climate' (Similar to the stable climate of the Middle East?....no threat of war here).
Check out the link below to see what I mean above;

The fact you can check out things like engine Rpm, road speed in Kph or MPH and engine temp takes it a step above air conditioning, which just blow the temperature the dial is set to with no regulation, so basically just cold or hot.
This is based on my assumptions only....... but I am an Engineer by trade, so it should be close.....ish /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile_smoking.gif
