16:9 wide screen clock

richardtricksterrichard · 30th August 2013, 17:25

Hi all, have recently up-graded my hi-line system to all the bmw goodies, ie: 16:9 wide tv screen , bm 54 twin radio tuner , mk4 dvd disk drive , & didital free view tv in motion now my next big step is to somehow get the screen to display the time,eta destination etc. I realize this isn't automatic coz the 75/zt dosn't have a digital clock, but instead had the rather lovely analogue one which I love, now Iv'e read somewhere that it has been done by way of an after market developed 'box' which obviously has all the nessesary electronic bits 'n' bobs needed.So what I'm asking is > doe's anyone out there know how I should go about getting this so called 'box' so I can wire it in to my system . . . any advise most appreciated . . thanks . . rtr

I'd like to know how to do that too, I have seen clock settings in the menu but it never seems to do anything. I also upgraded to a message centre IPK but the trip computer display through the tv doesn't have any figures in it however the message centre display shows everything, is it a menu option or does it need a T4 session.

Excellent, what you said makes sense, would be realy good, and useful to get this up and running. Also fitted> up-grade blue dials & clock zt faces but std black/chrome facia, looks real cool . .

Hi, any chance of sending me the details as well? I've been wanting to get the clock/ETA sorted on my Mk4 Hi-Line setup for years.
