I want to get a clock similar to one in pic for my Magna TS

If I get one how do I go about fitting it to the dash :confused:

This is where I want the clock to go, in between the vents in side the red circle

If that middle bit doesnt pull out (it should though) then you may need to buy a rada dash peice aswell.

all you have to do is pull the hole back peice out and that little square just pops out, you will need to wire the dash clock up because it dosen't have the loom there, i can take a pic if you want of the wires

Centre bit between the vents clips/pulls out.
I got an auto electrician to wire mine up but other's here have done it themselves. (do a search)

Wiring's easy, just make sure you grab the plug that connects to the clock as well; snip the wires off a few inches back to give you plenty of wire to splice into. Do a search and you will find which wires should be connected to what.

Should never cost you more than say $30 for the clock, though if you are lucky you can get them considerably cheaper (I paid $10). Do NOT try to get one through Mitsubishi. Or maybe do, just to see the parts guy's reaction. The one I went to nearly fell through the floor when he saw they are priced at $485!

If you need a clock I got 3 spare ones laying about but I don't have the plug with the wires on it.
If you want one it will just cost you the postage, clocks free, and yes they do work!
All you have to do is get small spade connectors and plug them into the back of the clock which is what I have done when I put the clock in my Pajero

I found the best way is just to run the wires down to where the stereo is. You have lighting control down there (cant remember if mine is through the auto quadrant lights or somewhere else) as well as constant power!

If you wait a day or two before you install it I should have a guide up for changing the lights from that horrible yellow colour to bright whites.
