Can you “upgrade” climate control to automatic climate control?

I have a 2020 Ford Transit Connect XLT Cargo LWB without automatic climate control.  I saw that there appears to be an automatic climate control unit that looks like it’s just an easy swap.  Does anyone know if it will work to just swap the control units, or is it a more complex process?

 

specifically thinking this part:

You can't simply swap parts ( I think). The automatic controls are  networked and there are programming or configuration changes that need to be made. 

 

Here is a forum thread about someone upgrading their climate control in a Ford Superduty. The OP used Forscan to make all changes. Forscan may have an easy way to change the configuration to recognize the new module but you won't know this until you run Forscan connected to your van.

You also will need to install some temperature and humidity sensors for the new module.
