Installing Auto Climate Control

I'm pretty sure I know what the answer to this is...

As petty as it sounds, one of my biggest regrets is not buying an Escape with auto climate control. I thought that I never needed it on my Fiesta, so why would I need it on my Escape?

I am fidgeting with those knobs multiple times every single drive and it is driving me insane.

Does anyone know if it'd be possible to swap in auto climate controls or is this pretty much impossible?

Hmm, well then, I guess I feel a lot better.

I guess I was just dreaming of a world where remote start + auto climate = never touch the temp controls.

@Knolly it would sure help a ton if you would put your model and trim level (at least) in your signature block so we could give you good answers to your questions ;-)

To your Q ... depending on what you've got the answer will range from "essentially impossible" to "wildly impractical" due to the huge number of different logic modules, logic programming, control modules and actual mechanical controls involved.
Updated!

So basically it'd be easier and probably the same cost to just buy a new car. Got it!
