Will Automatic Climate Control Plug Right In?

I have an '04 XLT V10 with manual climate control (three dials) Will the automatic temperature control plug right in as replacement? Will it work right off or will I need additional parts, like the temp sensor, etc.?

I would like to convert to the ATC because it is a nice luxury here in Wisconsin.

Thanks,
Jasonodsky

No, I am hoping there is knowledge on this forum before I buy.

It will not work. I have seen both systems while building my X and they are totally different.

X2. Not a chance and the retrofit would be very difficult.

Bummer...how did the dealer handle it when a customer wanted the option added to a model already sitting on the lot?
