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

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.

Tach signal can be verified by probing the blue connector's black wire, pin 7 while the engine is running. Measure AC volts with a digital multi-meter. It should read 1.5-6V AC.
If tach signal is verified (from the ECM) then the problem most likely lies with dead SI board batteries. If batteries have been recently replaced, I would assume bad/cracked solder joints on the cluster main board, then bad tach motor assembly.Owner - Bavarian Restoration

Planning to do this to my 318is. Already have the clock and connector I will just be needing to splice! I am having second thoughts on doing this given that the SI batteries give out after installing this.

So do you just cut 4 wires from the green connector that goes in the 6 button OBC and leave the rest of the wires connected to the green connector for ease of re installing the 6 button? Also is there a adapter from 6 button female to a female analog connection? I hate splicing stock wires, like really hate it
