Ok, I just did this in my 91 318is and it looks great. Clock works great. problem is my tach is now not working!!! I followed the instructions to the letter. I had read that other people had this issue in the past. I have searched and I can't find the fix???

Help!

Thanks so much kumulonimbus, I was ready to take my whole god damn hvac apart to get to it. I purchased the scotch locks and had it installed within 5 minutes.

Could one of these be used instead of butt connectors? Just seems if I ever wanted to go back to original it would be much easier.

Is this the correct way to get to the clock so I can install it?

Those scotch locks (blue thing you linked to) will work fine, and can even be recommended over butt connectors (see post #40 of this thread).

When I did it, I didn't remove my radio. I removed the right side panel where the glove box is, but I think you don't even need to do that. You just need to pry off the old clock's face, then push down the two plastic things (see pic) and slide the clock out.

You can use whatever you want, even electric tape. ;)

It just won't be a clean, professional look, and can be explosive to your car.

:eeek:waaahhhhh!

Just installed my analogue clock following OP's instructions, clock is running great. However, now the SRS light on the over head display continuously blinks. Anyone have this happen to them?

is there any other way of wiring this up besides using a power mirror connection, or the stock plug? Im hoping to find like single connectors for each connection (if that makes any sense)

Why? Just use the mirror plug, it fits right in and makes it really easy. Don't make more work for yourself than you need to.
