Analog Clock Dash?
One of the things that I love most in modern luxury cars is an analog clock dash - now obviously the W210 never had that option from the factory, rather going for the digital dash clock. I was wondering if anyone here has heard if there is an analog dash clock I can get for my 1997 E420? If not, its not a big deal - I figured may as well ask - to me, most Mercedes are very classy, and the analog dash clock is just a nice touch that compliments the car.
Thanks for your time! |
i am old school and far sighted, so analog displays are far easier for me to see at a glance
vs digital digit readouts. analogs also have the advantage of showing relative readings with the exception of the digital/analog hybrids. i have a older VDO analog clock from my rallye days which I plan on installing in my E320 but scoping out an A-pillar gauge pod to see if that is viable. I didn't want to hack into the instrument cluster nor have the VDO clock replace any of the existing gauges already in my E320 nor do I want to locate it in any part of the central dash console. |

i've actually been trying this item out and will see how I feel about this obvious 'add-on' to the
dash and whether it sticks out like a sore thumb. i would have preferred an illuminated clock vs luminous hands though. we'll see |
One of the reasons that sold me 2014 model is analog clock on the center.
I had to remove the vents, with clock in the center and it would be easy to mechanically transplant it to any car, but the clock is controlled via command center and that would be beyond my skills. Still you can find battery-powered analog clock and attach it. Or get android command center with clock as an option. |
