Driver presses the A/C switch on the dash, the coil opens the circuit for the AC control which the VEMS handles based on your MiscOut settings.  The exact wiring depends on the dashboard switch - if it switches to ground when on then the relay coil will need a 12v supply not the ground connection.

The choice of which EC36 pin to use will be made based on the current drawn by the AC control circuit.

Adding inputs to MiscOut would open up other possibilities to users who do not need AC. And using ECU for logical control is easier than relays. I am not too familiar with various AC configurations.
But here are some things that some ecus do:

* Raise idle
* Turn on electric fanNow these things are optional, just getting AC to work [disable/endable based on load and rpm] would be a good start. ICV algorithm should be able to cope with the changed idle speed.
