      new guy w a few ?'s (adding air conditioning, cruise)

      Newbie to an Aveo, but not to cars or forums. Got an 09 hatch (special value model in silver) and man this thing is Spartan.

      Have been reading up on the site and planning to do several things like the Cruise switch add etc. Read the older threads but didn't see any confirmation on one done for an 09. anyone? same switch part number?

      AC....well since 'AC' is not searchable and 'Air Conditioning' doesn't show much, do we have anyone who has successfully added AC? I DO have the AC prep option (so dealers can install) so I'm figuring maybe a compressor, condensor, evaporator core and some lines? Can get some parts (like the condensor) cheap so figured I might be able to do it. Anyone know a parts list or numbers, or if say a 2007 condensor would work for my 2009?

      Fog lights..09's have a nice little front dam with round cutouts, anyone know a good set that will fit?

      lot's more but I'm already pushing it for my first thread, will have to start posting topics in the appropriate tech sections. Anyhow glad to be here and BTW got my brandy new 09 for 6k + a clunker (just under 7k w/tax reg etc out the door) :P

      hour and 20 minutes? where are you?

      bolt the connections together, and then lay the lines where they ned to go. There is a need for the computer update cause you will want the fan to kick on, fast idle etc..

      I only took off the air box to get the pass line in. I remember in was a P.I.T.A. but It did go in. Also the car will need the computer flashed. And don't forget about the fuse and relay.
