I have the cheap laredo controls. I want the cool 5.9 controls. Will they plug right in or do I need the BCM or something else?

simple answer: no

its all vacume lines, ive tried doing it, more work than its worth, there was no connector when i looked back there, i ended up moving my controls and keeping the simple ones

I've converted from the manual controls to ATC on my '96. You will need the air plenum and dash wiring harness from the same year as yours. You will also need to make sure the harness comes from a ZJ that has the same or more options than yours (like heated seats). The entire dash will have to come out, swap the air plenum and harness, then put it all back together.

It's not hard, just a bit of a PITA.
