Hello, I have a 406 1.8 petrol D8 of 1998 , an I have this center console:

Is possible to change to that ?

In a word, no.

What lies behind, or connected to, those control panels are so different it would be a complete dashboard-out and re-wire of the entire cars' electrical system for starters

Definitely easier (and probably cheaper) to replace the whole car!

I'd sell you my old 1999 D9 (facelift) 406 saloon, which does have the modernized centre console and digital climate control - but it needs a bit of work to pass an MOT and you're probably nowhere near Aberdeen anyway.

APR stick with what you have now. less things to go wrong.

nice simple. the one you want to change it for is all electrical

plus as the guys say its a big NO NO i'm afraid

ithink it be do able,
but youd need a d9 for the wiring loom etc,

itd be a Mission and wouid require a lot of patience,

it be easier just to go and buy a D9

you need to get a set of leccy seats from a donor car.

and then buy this wire kit from me. and its just a case of a 12v pos feed from the battery
