Hi Guys,
After going through all the info on this site (and everywhere else on the net) I could not find a good walkthrough for this conversion from start to finish. I have just completed it and have documented the process.... so here it is for all to enjoy! It is quite simple really, below is the parts list.
Tools: 1. Soldering Iron 2. Solder 3. Wire Cutters / Strippers 4. 10mm Spanner 5. Phillips Head Screwdriver
Parts: 1. Soarer TT Climate Control Module 2. Loom for Climate Control with 2cm before its cut (you will need to extend it about 30cm, so if you can get one with that much left on it all good, I had to extend it.) 3. Enough spare wire to extend all the cables 30cm
Procedure: 1.Disconnect your battery (dont want a short now do we). 2. Extend the loom on the Soarer TT Climate Control Unit by 30cm. 3.You will need to remove the EMV (out of scope for this document, plenty of info on how to do this elsewhere, use the search). 4.Once the EMV is out of the way SELL IT! Then you will need to remove the Climate Control ECU. The reason you are doing this is that the Soarer TT Climiate Control Module has the Climate Control ECU built-in. The EMV does not. It is located under the dash (brown\yellow box) next to the Mirror Control Unit. 5.With the Climate Control ECU out of the way you should have three Orange connectors dangling down. If you feel up to the top of this loom you will find it is secured by one of those spread clips. Either pop it out (if you can) or cut if off. This will give you enough slack to be able to solder in comfort. You will need to solder these connections to the Soarer TT Climate Control Loom. Details on how to do this is below.
EMV CONNECTIONS There are three orange connectors. We will call them connector A, Connector B and Connector C.
Connector A is laid out like this: 1,2,3,4,5 CLIP 6,7,8,9,10 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23
1 = Red 2 = Black \ Red 3 = Yellow 4 = Blue \ White 5 = Pink \ Black 6 = Blue 7 = Purple 8 = Green 9 = Green \ Red 10 = Red \ Blue 11 = White \ Black 12 = Blue \ Red 13 = White 14 = Yellow \ Black 15 = Pink \ Blue 16 = Not Used 17 = Not Used 18 = Not Used 19 = Black \ Yellow 20 = Not Used 21 = Green \ Black 22 = Not Used 23 = Blue \ Red
1 = White \ Green 2 = Blue 3 = Green 4 = Green \ Red 5 = Grey 6 = Purple 7 = Black 8 = Blue \ Yellow 9 = Green \ Yellow 10 = Purple \ White 11 = Blue \ Black 12 = Light Green 13 = Blue 14 = Red 15 = Purple \ Red 16 = Green \ Orange 17 = Yellow 18 = Black \ Red 19 = Black \ Yellow 20 = Grey \ Green 21 = Red \ Blue 22 = Blue \ White 23 = Blue \ Black 24 = Red \ Black 25 = Blue \ Green
Connector C is laid out like this: 1,2,3 CLIP 4,5,6 7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 1 = Brown \ White 2 = Yellow \ Blue 3 = Pink \ Black 4 = Blue \ Yellow 5 = Not Used 6 = Not Used 7 = Brown 8 = Light Green \ Red 9 = Yellow \ Green 10 = Green \ White 11 = Grey 12 = Pink 13 = Yellow \ Red 14 = Not Used 15 = Not Used
SOARER TT CLIMATE CONTROL CONNECTIONS There are another three connectors (mine were white). We will call them Connector D, Connector E and Connector F.
Connector D is laid out like this: 1,2 CLIP 3,4 5,6,7,8,9,10,11
1 = Green \ Black 2 = Not Used 3 = Black \ Yellow 4 = Blue \ Red 5 = Not Used 6 = Not Used 7 = Yellow 8 = Black \ Red 9 = Blue \ White 10 = Not Used 11 = Not Used
Connector E is laid out like this: 1,2,3,4,5,6 CLIP 7,8,9,10,11 12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25
1 =Black 2 =Blue \ Yellow 3 =Green \ Yellow 4 =Purple \ White 5 =Blue \ Black 6 =Pink \ Black 7 =Yellow \ Blue 8 =Pink 9 =Blue \ Yellow 10 =Light Green \ Red 11 =Yellow \ Green 12 =Purple \ Red 13 =Green \ Orange 14 =Yellow 15 =Black \ Red 16 =Black \ Yellow 17 =Pink \ Blue 18 =Brown \ White 19 =Not Used 20 =Brown 21 =Grey \ Green 22 =Green \ White 23 =Grey 24 =Pink 25 =Yellow \ Red
Connector F is laid out like this: 1,2,3 CLIP 4,5,6 7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15
1 = Red 2 = Purple 3 = Red \ Yellow 4 = Green 5 = Green \ Red 6 = Red \ Green 7 = White \ Black 8 = White 9 = Yellow \ Black 10 = Not Used 11 = Not Used 12 = Not Used 13 = Not Used 14 = Not Used 15 = Blue \ Red
Connect them together like this (Dont worry when you finish if there are some cables that dont get connected these are extra wires for the EMV and such, tape them up): D1 -> A21 D2 -> Not Used D3 -> A19 D4 -> A12 D5 -> Not Used D6 -> Not Used D7 -> A3 D8 -> A2 D9 -> A4 D10 -> Not Used D11 -> Not Used
F1 -> A1 F2 -> A6 F3 -> A7 F4 -> A8 F5 -> A9 F6 -> A10 F7 -> A11 F8 -> A13 F9 -> A14 F10 -> Not Used F11 -> Not Used F12 -> Not Used F13 -> Not Used F14 -> Not Used F15 -> A23
6. Once this has been completed tidy up your loom (tape it up so its all together) and feed the cabling up into the centre console. 7.Connect the connections to the Soarer TT Climate Control Module. 8.Mount the Soarer TT Climate Control Module. 9.Reconnect your battery. 10. Done!

Hi Matt,
I'm pretty sure this would be 91 - 96... Hell my climate control unit was from the united states and I didn't know what year model the car was ( buttons are backwards, its actually better because now the AC button isn't so far away ). The pins were backwards too, but the colour codes were the same.
As far as your fan speed goes, Im sure if you look through the wiring diagrams you should be able to get that working.
Should probably put a disclaimer to do at your own risk as your dealing with electronic components. If your not competent give it to a pro

Looking at the wiring for the 96 on it's quite different from the earlier models. There also appears to be some differences at the actual blower assembly which would indicate that none of the bits are completely interchangable.

Great tutorial!! i have a problem though with connecting E13-> B16 and E21-> B20 and E24-> C12 i dont seem to have any wires for those on the non emv plugs. I have installed everything into car and tt unit lights up but has nothing on the screen and beeps when pressing any of the buttons.

Hi Daniel,
I was just wondering if you sorted out your climate control? The reason I ask is I'm about to attempt the same conversion and it would appear that my non emv connector E does not have pins 19 and 24 attached. I was thinking of perhaps inserting a crimp of some description or soldering a wire directly to the pin on the back of the TT unit where the connection does not exist.
Oh and thanks to Richard for the original tutorial.

If you look at the Jeff Harper wiring diagrams you will see that there is a wire for both speed pulse and telephone mute - neither of which I connected (the contacts were missing anyway )

Hi Luke,
Thanks for the advice, unfortunatly I do not have access to the Jeff Harper wiring diagrams. I guess they're part of the "Soarer Bible" which has just about everything! I should buy a copy.
My concern is that Richard, Daniel and myself have connectors with different missing wires and the wiring loom I have sourced has come from a different Soarer than the climate control unit.
I notice that Non EMV plug E 19 according to Richard's tute is unused but I still have E 24 pink wire missing. Are these two the "speed pulse" and the "telephone mute"?
Thanks mate, I will post tutorial for anyone who wishes convert their EMV to a new DVD touch screen and Climate control unit.

Simon, you have access to the wiring diagrams if you buy them ;-)
Remember that NOT all cars have telephone - so the Tel Mute wire is of use and may or may not be available depending on whether the loom plug came from a car with telephone or not. The speed pulse wire was not connected on the conversion I did because again, the wire was not on the TT loom plugs. So E19 and E24 were not required on the vehicle I did.
I will add however, the above tutorial seems to miss off the De-fogger (pin 18 connector I on JF diagrams - connector A above)for the rear screen and the button illuminations too as my wiring differs.
Its easy to do tutorials when others provide the answers ;-)

Hey guys sorry bout the long delay in replying!! As it was such a hassle to be under the dash for so long i have just left it as is lol but having no aircon is starting to take it toll up here in Far North Queensland!! I have a feeling it may be the actual TT control may be faulty.. The screen lights up green and when the buttons are pressed they beep but nothing else happens.. I am moving to Melbs in two weeks were if anyone with knowledge of this conversion could help me out i would be greatly appreciated..

Hey, I am mid way through this conversion.
I have done the extensions for the ones that go to matching colours (about 90%)
I remember reading in an earlier guide that all the wires match to their identical marking, so just a bit cautious about mixing the wire colours about. So is there no need to worry or what?
I have US wiring diagrams which don’t help a bit with the EMV

This is why you shouldn't be doing this without the Japanese wiring diagrams from Jeff Harper. Also why this tutorial is difficult to follow.
These are the notes from when I did my conversion recently. The only difference with mine is that I made a new loom using the female plugs from the EMV climate control unit (desoldered from the board).
1 +B Red 2 MH Purple 3 MC Red-Yellow 4 MFRS Green 5 MREC Green-Red 6 IG Red-Green 7 E White-Blue or Brown Yellow? 8 FACM White 9 DEF Yellow-Black 11 E1 White-Blue or Brown-Yellow? 15 ACC Blue-Red
IND1 to IND5, LED+ are for the Air-Con display above the EMV screen (since AC ECU and Display are integrated, not required) SW1-SW5 are for the Air-Con display above the EMV screen (since AC ECU and Display are integrated, not required) BQTV, TXM-, TXM+ are all Vehicle LAN lines (so not required)

can we get some finished after shots after the conversion,
what dvd screens or single din units people have gone for and what they have done to cover the wholes, and whether the cd players meet the outer plastic to the edge or there are gaps left on the sides etc.
Quoting Richard's first post on this thread, parts that you need:
Parts: 1. Soarer TT Climate Control Module 2. Loom for Climate Control with 2cm before its cut (you will need to extend it about 30cm, so if you can get one with that much left on it all good, I had to extend it.) 3. Enough spare wire to extend all the cables 30cm
If I can get 1 and 3, is it possible to do this job without no2?
