As an element from the Climate control regulators category, the panel is designed to effectively transmit signals to the control units responsible for the compressor, fans, mixing flaps, and heating system. The layout of the buttons and indicators complies with the Audi standard, which facilitates the replacement of a damaged module without the need for installation modifications.

The panel is prepared for installation in the factory location in the dashboard, which allows for maintaining the original look of the interior. Thanks to this, there are no differences in fitment after replacement, and operation remains consistent with the user's habits.
