yes new climate control panel is with the dash,im just interested in if its been done before,wiring , repinning etc...

Yes. I have...as part of my AC retrofit .

Note the older on is cable driven, whilst the new one uses electric servo motors for the temp flaps etc, so you need to replace the heater box too.

I've done this but in a slightly different way.

As part of transplanting everything from a 2008 touran into my 2012 Caddy, I kept the climatronic unit from the Caddy as the Touran had the old manual controls.

As mentioned above you need to swap the heater matrix from behind the dash so its a dash out job. For me the wiring was just plug and play. No need to change any pins or anything. Just plug it in and you're away. The climatronic unit is completely a stand alone unit and only needs power to work. The earlier manual controls had a few more wires but these are redundant once you fit the climatronic unit. Nothing to code either.

cheers vanlife ,i could go grab the climatronic unit tomorrow ,is that all i need ,any sensors etc...

If you have the panel in your second picture, then you'll need a lot more parts than that,
Like heater box, AC compressor, AC pipes, AC condensor, refrigerant, etc etc

I have aircon in my caddy,pretty sure it comes standard in Australia,do I need to upgrade my ac as well Tommy...

No need to upgrade the AC. You just need the heater matrix unit and the climatronic control panel. Plus a new fascia for your dash.

No, but the panel in your second pic isn't an AC panel.
The other thing to budget for then is a re-gas
And dash sensors and sunlight sensors etc if your going climatronic
