Fitting a clock

Juist installed a din cubby with clock.
Rather than the seemingly usual BMW analogue clock I decided to go for a ral Mazda clock.
It's digital and green and looks like the rest of the Mazda dash.
It's actually from a '99 Mazda 626
What do you think, better than a Beamer?

It looks grand++
BUT, I have to admit I really like having an analogue clock, esp. one that gives an audible click once a minute. Even more odd, but I've come to like the way it has its own colour light, diffrent from the Bongo instrument lights
Maybe I'm odd..............................NAH!

I have a problem with digital clocks they have to be accurate to the second or they annoy me, where I don't seem to notice it on analogue clocks, however yours does look good.

Cheers Maxheadroom (he was one of my favs when I was a young un!)
Was only a tenner inc. postage from an online breaker.
I'd suggest you ask for the plug too though as the back of the clock has a 16 pin plug!

Glyn - I dropped you a pm earlier in the week, but just in case you haven't read it yet, can you tell me which wires you connected where please? I picked one of these up from the local scrapie, but have yet to figure out what the 5 wires do. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Here's some info I gave Simon Jones recently, haven't heard anything negative from him so I'm presuming it was OK
I've attached a few pictures to show how I number the pins.
So using my 626 these are the readings I got from a voltage meter.
pin 1 +12v
pin 2 not connected
pin 3 earth
pin 4 +0.35 volts
pin 5 not connected
pin 6 not connected
pin 7 not connected
pin 8 +10v lights on, 0v lights off
pin 9 +12v ignition on
pin 10 + 12v lights on
pin 11 not connected
pin 12 +0.35v
pin 13 - 16 not connected
I've no idea what the two pins with +0.35 volts do.
Hope this helps,
Glyn
