Yeah the unit can be added later but as i said you only get the rest feature, most of the goodies are disabled because of the lack of necessary sensors.

To do a proper retrofit and get it working to factory standards here is a short list of stuff way too many small parts for me to list them all but you can see its going to be next to impossible to do on a built car without massive amounts of money being spent and not gaining any back at sale time.

Heater Box
Stepper Motor
Housings X2
Control Lever
Mounting Screw X48
AC El Cable
Pollutant Sensor
Pollutant Sensor Wiring Harness
Operating Unit
Operating Unit Wiring Harness
Nozzle X2

Shall i continue? This really is a system that sounds easy to do in theory but is a different story in practice much like adding COMAND when you have the A20 and no MOST real nasty job to do properly.

To do this job on any model SLK properly the dash must come out and to do it on a 55 the engine has gotta take a walk to get the box out.

If it where me i would not bother upgrading it on a car that does not have it from build but if you really prefer how it looks then the operating unit can be installed and you will gain the rest function but things like the pollutant intake control system wont function.
