I can confirm that the digital unit has different plugs when compared to the analog unit.
I tried plugging in a digital unit to my analog system, and while it lit up, I had NO control over it. IIRC, the analog system has 2 plugs while the digital has 3 (or vice versa).

is there a complete write up on how to do this conversion? my buddy and i have been having issues with his.

3 plugs vs 2 plugs. So will having also the digi harness solve this issue or is the problem deeper than it looks?

If you're talking about USDM analog to JDM digital, someone just posted a new write up last week. http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=154426

Where u able to get it to work somehow? A local guy with a 89 ca18det 180sx bought a digital climate control but is now selling it. I am guessing it's because he had the same 3 to 2 plug problem.

That's not what we're discussing. We're discussing the transition from analog auto climate control (only available in J-model cars) to digital auto climate control.

I never put any effort into it. If I'd had access to the harnesses I might've.
