I've always liked the 300m analog clock, and wanted a way to install in my Intrepid dash that looked like it belonged, as if the factory put it there. This is my solution.
I cut out the plastic holder for the trac button on the back of the panel. I don't have any plans to add that to this car anyway. There is already a large cavity for the trac switch and I only had to enlarge it about 1/2" or so bottom and left side to fit the clock.
I also had to reset the minute hand so the time would display correctly, since I turned the clock upside down from it's normal position. With the two buttons on the bottom I set the clock to 6:30 (or 12 o'clock right side up). Then I pried off the minute hand and re-positioned it to the top of the hour (12). Now it tracks the time correctly.
Otherwise when it should read 6:00 the hour hand was between 6 and 7, like it would be right side up at 12:30.........
Looks great, I see you did the HVAC controls and the gauges from a 300M as well. Have been considering that mod myself. How difficult was it? Is it just plug and play?
The gauges are plug and play (Get one from a 2002 or later model) ...but the HVAC controls require the dash to be removed. Some Intrepids came with the Auto controls tho, so this may not be a mod.
Looks great! How did you wire it up? I got one from the salvage yard the other day, but wondered what to use as a constant power source. Any help would be appreciated.
I was just thinking about that.. LOL You must be psychic dude.
