Thread: Dash Clock with Aftermarket stereo

I have asked this question on a number of forums and got basically zero reponses which I assumed to be a no. One said they mounted the original radio in a hidden spot when they put in the new head unit as it is needed to work the clock in the trip computer (they also said it is linked to something else but I do not know what).

What head unit did you put in? Got a link? Can you operate it from the steering wheel? Can you operate an ipod with it from the steering wheel and does it have a usb port?

Will watch with interest.

Hi Scary, I'm also interested. What unit, how was the surround done, steering wheel controls and the big one how much?
Pics would be great.

wont get the dash clock to work, seen only one sport that had the steering wheel buttons work the head unit and he recons its a waste of time realy(and money), what wrong with moving your hand a few inches to push a button he says,

this is the link to the unit.

We got a double Din Fascia so it fits as per factory - works with the steering wheel controls and we added the navigation, Ipod (wifes old Iphone 3 sits in the glove box connected all the time), reversing camera, blue tooth.

Neat unit, the fascia folds down to insert DVD or CD's etc. Yes we have a USB input in the glove box also.

All the additional bits and pieces are installed under the dash.

Touch screen etc.

I will grab some installed pics and post up when I am home tonight.

Cost - Around $2k installed - plus the installers give us free updates when the come out.

You can also add screens in the rear that are controlled via the unit so the kids can watch DVD's/ movies off the Ipod on those long trips

So the clock on post 06 upgrade discos is run off the radio sent via the CAN bus.

I haven't seen any devices capable of sending the clock signal instead of the radio.... Better to use the new radio's clock.... Hopefully it is more accurate than the std one!
