    Need Help Installing Analog Clock/HVAC Panel

    So I have an '87 325ic. I just purchased an Analog Clock to swap out for the existing OBC. The clock was made to snap in from the outside, but the OBC was made to install from the inside. Is there another bracket-type piece that i can install on the inside of the HVAC panel? Or do i need to replace it for a different one? Thanks in advance for the help. Pics below:

    The analog clock bracket is part # 62-13-1-380-009. I got it from the dealer for $4.14, tax included. Its the same cradle/bracket as the 6 button obc if you can source one easier.

        Why would you swap an OBC for the analog clock?

            lol. I had an analog clock in my old 84 318 like a decade ago. It was cooler than the two button digital clock. I don't think I'd sacrifice a 13button OBC for one.

            Euro = Hyundai luxury LOL

              I personally like the elegance of the analog clock over the button type obc. That and I honestly never use any of its function other than for the time. Lol

                OBC > Clock anyday.

                Besides... the OBC has a digital clock. :P

                      Hey guys need another favor. Trying to find some sort of wiring diagram/ instructions for an OBC to Analog swap. There are 4 wires on the analog clock but i have no clue which wires to splice on the OBC harness. Thanks in advance for the help.

                        Here the link I used to wire mine. FYI, if you dont have the pigtail, you can use a driver side power mirror pigtail in its place, Works perfectly after you shave down a tab.

                          Thanks, does this work the same way with the OBC wiring harness? Or does multi-function clock = OBC?

                          Thanks again for the help
