in my 92 Gen3 LE I4 Auto camry, the fan speed, cool/hot dial, vent output control (front, bottom, front and bottom, front defogger, etc), and fresh air/recirculate controls are mechanical while the ac and rear defroster are push buttons. i've seen a pic of a gen 3 camry with the vent output selector and teh fresh air controls are push buttons as well while the fan speed and cool/hot dial remained as mechanical dials. is there a way for me to convert it?

anyone know how to at least take out the mechanical leverl that switches from fresh air to recirculate?

why is it such a big deal bro?

im sure there is a way, but you would have to alter your electronics to use the electric one, im sure there is a servo involved to move the course or incoming air.

in all the gen 3's ive seen, the a/c and defrost are pushbutton (because they are electrical systems) and the rest mechanical, but thats just what ive seen. i was once curious if you could adapt a gen 4 system to work with that like you are trying to do, but it was only a brief thought, because of the work ad adaptation involved for no gain at all... it would be more prone to problems too.
