JDM EK4 Navigation System in a USDM 96 EK4

[.:i.lIKE:.:eK9:.:lOTs:.]

I have read aroud that people are able to get full heating controls working in a USDM 96 Civic. My question is, how is this accomplished since the USDM climate controls are cable operated?

Here's a pic of the unit in question:

Most guys use Ek9 clips, and simply transfer over all the components, along with heater controls and the like. Same goes for EG6 JDM climate controls - and their 'Auto' functions.

my understanding is if the car came with electronic climate control, it is just a matter of running the correct wires. However, what I would like to know is how people clame that full heating functions on the 96 - 98 US models which have cables. I have read about having to change out some engine parts to give the 96s electric heating. Can anyone put up a list of all the needed parts perhaps?
