Installing Auto Climate Module

I have a 2013 LX with the standard climate. I've seen auto climate modules go on eBay and was wondering if its as simple as plug and play? The module itself looks identical in terms of shape, so does the module communicate with the car the same way for both modules? Or can I only have auto climate if my car came with it?
 
Short answer to this is yes, the digital climate control can be made to work. But the AUTO part is not possible without some serious rewiring, besides the humidity sensor.
The auto function needs access to the outside temperature sensor and sunlight sensor on the dash. Both of which use a "polling" method of reading the sensor data. So a simple wire tap will not work.
A "simple crossover" harness is all that is needed to make the digital part work. Or you could re-pin the factory harness to make it work as well....
