i guess you are talkin about the 92-93 and 94+ dash,
it is possible and it will be a total pain to convert the logical controls to manual,,,
it has been done and i saw one 2 weeks ago,,,<p>good luck though,,

I guess if you mean converting the manual slider climate control to the electronic climate control then yes it can be done.
I have done it.
However it is not an easy thing to do. You need more than just the control panel. You need the blower motor assembly and the heater assembly and the wire harness that goes with them. The dash needs to be lifted out to get to all those parts. The control panel is about an inch shorter than the 93 slider control so a custom bracket needs to be made. The online manual was extremely valuable.
Plenty of sweat, swearing and wishing I was a professional contortionist for the 2 days it took me to do this.
All said it was the best customization I did to my MX-3 SE.
