Clock in Right Hand Display
I have a 2005 SL500 and would love to have the clock idsplay in the instrument cluster. The display in the middle of the dash is way to dim. How did you do it?
Thanks
Thanks

I've a Euro car, and mine tells me if i've left the keys in the ignition (but ignores the keyless go key if I used keyless go). But I tweaked mine slightly :-) I also have clock in the right hand display (aka SLR, aswell as on top of the dashboard, and the USA warnings about seatbelts being undone, but without the audible pinging noise (that only happens for 5 seconds if you start without seatbelt on) - since it's good to know if one of the kids undoes his/her seatbelt when I pull up somewhere and then decide not to stop
I foolishly sold my spare cluster, so I dont have anyway of playing now, so I cant work out if theres any other nice stuff to play with in the SL cluster (and I dont plan to play on the real car!)
