Hi, is anyone looking at this post anymore?

I did the upgrade to my 2011 JSW thanks to this DIY. Everything seemed to go great but I'm not sure its working properly. Have had it in my car for a few weeks now and haven't noticed it "adjusting" itself automatically.

Today I had it set close to the max temp (but below). Had the fan speed on "1" and the outside temp was close to 40F this AM on the way to work. I assumed it would automatically kick up the fan speed eventually but nothing happened and it stayed on "1" during all of my 40 minute commute. Maybe it because the interior of my car was fairly warm already since the car was in the garage all night?

Also, right after I did the install i used VCDS and could see the sensor temp readings. One thing I was concerned about is that there was a listing for "air vent temp sensor" or something along those lines in VCDS under the Auto HVAC section but I found it odd there was no listing for the sensor in the footwell vent. Is that normal?

The part number for the semi auto (ie numbered and with temp sensors) control panel appears to be 5HB009751
