Are A/C Control Panels (the panel that controls the: Fan Speed, Temperature, and Head/Foot air flow direction) in cars are universal, similar to USB connections are for computers? For example, I would like to to take the the A/C Control Panel out of my 2013 Subaru and put it in my 1998 Pontiac (I know that the physical dimensions of the box won't fit without modification of the interior).
I believe that the Control Panels are an HVAC connection, but I don't know if there are different connections between new cars and older cars. Or if A/C Control are car specific, if newer cars are using digital connections compared to analog, etc.
