Thermostat replacement

   I have a 2009 pod with the mechanical thermostat built into the overhead A/C. The thermostat for the furnace is on the wall. 
I'd like to replace the furnace thermostat with a digital model that controls both the A/C and furnace. Actually turning the A/C on and adjusting fan speeds would probably best be easiest if left to the existing mechanical switch, so I just need to bypass the mechanical thermostat completely and run the 3 wires over to the new thermostat.

Anyone tried this? Suggestions from HVAC folks are appreciated. It seems to be a pretty straightforward mod using a Hunter brand thermostat for less than $20.
