Source for rebuilding ACC control unit

[Rolo]

Hi all, sorry to start yet another thread about the failings of the Unwired Tools replacement ACC controller.

I've tried several fixes and tests on the UWT unit.  The support department won't respond to me any furhter.  I have determined that the unit does not work as advertised: functions the same as the facotry unit.  Far from it.  The center vents only open if outside temp is way above the control wheel set temperature and Bi Level doesn't work at all.  There are other minor and major differences, but the bottom line is that the UWT requires manual control to make it acceptable.  A lot of rolling of the control wheel all the time.  In defense of UWT, their engineer has determined that some functions such as not starting the unit in heat mode until the coolant is warm and Bi Level are not needed.

So it needs to come out.


I have the aluminum bodied ACC controller and it needs to be rebuilt.  Anyone have a good, reliable source for rebuilding my aluminum ACC controller?

Thanks

There's a guy on ebay selling the aluminum bodied ones.  He might do a core exchange.   I bought mine off him and he actually helped me with some tech support over the phone as I recall.  I think he sells under "MBDiesel1".

I found his posts on eBay.  A lot of rebuilt ACC controllers.  thanks for the lead.

The UWT unit continues to disappoint.  The more I use it, the more I discover its shortcomings.
