Digital Clock

I just put one off an "87" Turbo Coupe into my car. Problem is I have no idea how to set it. I tried about every thing I could think of. Either I didn't do it the right way, or something my be wrong with it. Thanks!

Mine will hit the trash. Your right, my stereo has a clock also. I'm going to look at some gauges and see what might be useful and at the same time fill in that spot. Maybe a tach? Thanks!

All you do is hold down the "time" button, and use the two little buttons above the display for the hours and minutes. Every one I have had, you have to push unusually hard on the buttons to get them to respond.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I've also had plenty of digital clocks and I can't recall ever having one not work.
