Question Clock between the vents

My C class didn't come with a clock between the vents, and I want to install one. Has anyone replaced their vents with vents+clock? I can't find any info by searching.

There is no C-Class with a clock there, you are thinking about the new E facelift.

I can see why, that is really elegant looking.

Have you considered a custom install? Sounds difficult but actually isn't.

I would recommend to remove your whole dash, but you can use a small hack saw and dremel to cut your own hole; lets say by the seat heater buttons, and install an analog clock with a battery in it.

This isnt in a Benz, but here is the idea I am getting at:

$39.95:

Or if you don't want to hack up your dash, you can buy velcro or double sided tape and mount it that way.

I wanted to go with the OEM look, lest I start getting addicted to modifications again.
