I installed the UBD radio from infotainment and I used Alfa to get the units to show up on the menu but when I try and change it from Celsius to feirenhiet it just reverts back . Also I have noticed my AC compressor running no matter what the setting . I am about to return it and get a UAQ radio instead . Other than those 2 issues it's a awesome radio .

UBD as in a 10.1 UConnect 5?

Edit: disregard, I was thinking UBG...

I’ve installed a UBD in a 2017 sport with auto/dual HVAC, heated seats, steering controls and everything seems to work ok although cabin temperature seems a lot hotter than auto setting. @Ramshig when you say AC compressor is always on do you mean the AC light is always on in the dashboard? Yes the temp is displayed in celsius but I’m Canada so it’s ok.

My AC compressor clutch was engaged while auto off and AC light off so essentially I didn't have vent air it was always being conditioned . I ended up figuring it out by adding a humidity sensor to the system and all works good now Mike from M2 mods hooked me up with everything I needed for the HVAC . I ended up buying a UAQ radio everything was in metric until I played around with Alfa OBD and now everything works as it should .

Ok I don’t see my AC clutch engaging but it’s probably because it’s -11 Celsius outside. Do you guys think I should try the temperature sensor from a 2023 to see if inside temperature would be closer to what I set it at on auto temp ?
