Anyone know, if the rear window/side mirror defroster would still work if swapping in with the LX controls?
The canadian spec has a single defroster button for both.

No, I want to turn it off without shutting off the fans. I only run the A/C about 50% of the time if its less than 85 degrees outside. The compressor always cycles on/off when it's on, no matter how high you have the climate control temp set. For longer compressor life (and we know Honda fails here), leave it on 58 degrees, and drop the A/C button off with a click until you need it again a few minutes later. Saves gas as well. Having to queue up the screen to do it every time and look at it is a PITA.

Makes more sense now. I guess with me living in Florida I always keep my AC on. :D

Snap a pic of your climate control for me.

So, this is tricky. We have all the exact same buttons. But the fact that your rear button and side mirror defroster are integrated into one thing... We don’t have side mirror defrosters, so I don’t know about that. It might be a hot wire that’s just teed off the main and it will work the same, or the mirror defrosters might not work at all.

It’ll cost you about $60 to be the guinea pig, and whatever they charge you to get it into the country.

You can try this type.

You get a knob for fan speed, but have to go through the head unit to select mode. I didn't want to get the climate control unit with a display because of the display's color.

Yes, heated mirrors will still work when you turn on the rear window defroster - I just put an USDM climate control in my EU FK8 and tested it.

Update on the heating functions: while the mirrors work I think the rear window defroster is not operating.

Does someone have a wiring diagram for the climate control of a USDM Civic?

Thanks OP!

Just bought the TBA (sedan LX) version. The TGG (base hatch) costs two to three times more.

Ordered mine, and of course I pick the one with the cleanest looking picture I could find, and they send me one that looks like someone ripped it out, and threw it on the ground. Screen is scratched, and the buttons are scratched. And that's after I emailed them back, to tell them to send me a clean one, and they replied, “no problem.” I may just drop dime for a new one.

Same exact thing happened to me. I am in the process of trying to return it through ebay. What is the actual part number for the 2017 LX control unit though? I searched for 79600TBAA112 and nothing comes up. I am planning to buy a brand new one so I don't have to keep trying out different ebay listings.
