Default Clocks ???

Anybody know of any digital clocks i can install into my BMW.I have taken the stereo out of my car which incorporated the clock.I have room to fit another in the fascia panel that radio is in.Would prefer orange lighting as per bmw.

So does anyone no any stand alone clocks i can buy or take out of a scrapper to install.

Did you take the business radio out? Just out if interest was it easy enough to come out and what was the facia surround like that you put in.

I cant believe how shit the sound system is in a 5 series. Mines an 03 so same as yours.

Yes mate the business stereo and like you said was utter shit sound.Both my amps in stereo have blown and they cannot be repaired and fook am i paying Ł300 for a shit sounding stereo.

Piss of piss to get out mate. Pull off volume knob. Look in hole Just above spindle under knob there is a slotted screw type thingy. Insert small flat screwdriver and turn 1/2 turn clockwise i think.Then pull stereo out. Simple as that.
