A single modular unit having a single display and several dual function potentiometers for controlling various functions of a radio and an HVAC climate control system. More real estate is made available in the instrument panels trim and dashboard for other components such as a refrigerated compartment, navigation system display units, cellular phone compartments and so forth where prior art HVAC switches were located. Further, a single modular system incorporating controls for the radio and the HVAC simplifies the vehicle assembly process in that a single unit can be shipped to and installed into the vehicle instead of two separate units.
