RX-8 Metra Kit and Heater not working
hi,
i'm having a problem with the heater after i installed the metra kit into my 04 rx-8. The AC seem to be working but i can't adjust anything else. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever experience with this problem? What can i do to make it to work?
Thanks !

i read this post many times before i purchase the kit ! It doesn't say much about the the heater. I have tried to unplug and replug like 3 times and now the heater and a/c works but still cannot adjust anything else. A/c still on when i switch to heater. Can anyone explain this?

new user here, ive looked around and couldnt find anything to compare with, but heres my issue, i have a 2004 rx8 and had a metra double din installed with a pioneer fh800bt head unit, everything works fine except i dont have cold air blowing. The techs installed the original head unit back in and it works fine, they also used up 4 modules that comes with the kit and still no cold air. does anyone have any comments, oh and the wires are all correct. i also tried to call metra about it but it seems the engineers would now something but they are not local! help please, im about to ditch the ride if it cant work.

ac will not work with metras kit
it has been flashed but the updates are to fix the twitching on the clock display of the rx8, so far ive found out that an 07 rx8 has the same issue except that car blows only cold air. thanks for the help

Then read this thread here. I had the same problem with mine. Everything worked with the factory unit, I installed the Metra kit and other then the early Metra bugs I had, the heat was still a problem. As soon as I did the DIY heat control fix from the other thread, everything has been perfect with the HVAC.
By the way, as stated above, all of this information is already in the "main" Metra kit thread, here.
