There's a thread of someone here who successfully swapped his 08 interior for a 2011 and simply enough used a specific wire harness for the new style HVAC controls to work. I entertained doing this myself, so I went to a moparpartsonline type site to price out the dash components. It estimated around $1100-1300... and that's just the dash frame, dash overlay pieces, glovebox, air vent tubes, HVAC controls,etc no wire harnesses or extras that you'd need. Its a pretty involved swap. The price seems a bit ridiculous IMO but that's for brand new parts. You might be able to do it for about half using eBay, Craigslist, or salvage yards.... but that's still a lot of coin to drop on cosmetics. Whatever makes you happy tho! It's your jeep, have fun with it! I'll admit if I get bored and find myself looking for a cool challenge, I'll probably try doing this interior swap at some point.... or a LS/HEMI

Hey,
Here are you some questions.
Ok, I have thought of doing this for people that dont want to swap the HVAC unit. Could you still use the the factory 07-10 unit with a modded heater bezel? do you have a comparison of the to units side by side.
Can you use the 07-10 console with the 11-13 dash? or will it have to be removed to run the dash. Im thinking of just getting a tuffy console for current year model. Seems that the daash pulls back far enough. I carry a gun when i travel and want ample space in console.
As far as I can tell that the 07-10 door panles will work until door panels can be gotten. Can you confirm this to be true.
Where did you get the 16 pin connector for your heater head unit? I see where you going by not buying a harness.
An do you know how the 11 skin cover fits on the 07-10 frame? is it bolt on, or will it need to be modded?
Have you figured out whats up with the cruise. Is it a resistance value difference.
An will the speaker pods work right with the 11 skin?
An can you take some pics
Of the HVAC unit in the frame. I know you have the skin off the dash.
Then of any mock up pic you have.

Ok so I have a line on a few dash skins. what exact mods will needed to make the 11-13 fit the 07-10 frame fit skin.
I knowI will have to get the wiring for the HVAC and do like you. looking at pin outs what is the return for the servos. I am looking at mtc. An the add of the blower motor module.
I think I have a line on a complete HVAC box. So I will only need vent vent tubes. What mods are needed there.
Some info that I found will going over notes and part numbers. If youuse the 11 harness you will need to get new air bag module. I am still researching.
an picd of mods will help.
