Changing clocks

I have a 99 2.0 and an anolog clock in my center console. I notice this can be replaced by a digital one.

any clues on if this is an easy exchange - how do the clocks mount in the center console?

Hi John

The digital clock you see is actually a clock and trip computer too...

Apparently most of the wiring is there (not confirmed) and you only need to add the front grill mounted temp sensor to work... plus the control on the end of the indicator stalk (used to select computer mode).

Checkout the wiring diagram and see what plugs you have already there...

Switching back to the digital!? Don't you guys think the analog looks better? I mean they on purpose switched it to an analog clock for more of that traditional roadster look. I think if you can get used to the analog it's adds to the retro ambience a bit.

Another reason not to change to digital is that the only time you can read the thing (without shielding the digits form the glare with your hand) is at night !
I would keep the analog for sure

Guys...

I dont have any probs with reading the digital in bright light on my MY2001, only problem is the location - my arms usually shield it from easy "glance" looks... neither will sort that!

I do like a gadget, so digital stays in my books...

If it was just a digital clock then I would prefer to have the analogue clock, but as it's a computer too then I'd prefer to keep it digital.
