Where is the rotary thermostat's sensing bulb located? ( the end of the sensing wire ) - it is placed inside the AC box. It is inserted where the original thermostat used to reside

It is much better to control temps by moving the blend door in the heat / AC system. - I think the flaps and the pods have been disabled and are no longer working

USV = US Version. I am noted this because the Euro Version has a different set of AC controls. I have another car, Euro Version, heater also taken off. The temperature is regulated by turning on and off the compressor. This car one works fine

How it has been hacked / changed from original version
1) thermostat replaced as shown in the figure
2) The flaps / pods no longer work
3) The heater components have been gutted out
