Notes:  
 Ignition key coding is transmitted to the A/C control head -E87- from the instrument cluster along with the coolant 
temperature and the signal "engine temperature too high" when ignition is switched on for vehicles as of m.y. 1999 (data 
message). Key coding can only be processed by A/C control heads -E87- with part number 8D0 820 043 after index "M." 
No information can be transmitted if the coolant temperature is too high. 
 When ignition is switched on, A/C control head -E87- begins with the setting that was valid when the ignition was last 
switched off with this key (temperature, air distribution, fresh air blower RPM).
