What have you all put in the "dead space" next to the radio, where the older models had the clock, looking for suggestions on what to do with mine. I've seen several cool mods and I'm most likely going to buy a OEM clock as my head unit doesn't show time and station at the same time.

I came across this image, he went to the junkyard and got some OEM signals from highbeams etc and put them there with an LED for an indicator light for his reverse spot light etc.



So what have you all done!

As you can see, my XJ has the base gauge cluster, so I made a tach mount. The tach is sticking out so far because I was leery of cutting a big hole in the back of my dash, so I just extruded the tach.

^^^wow, that's cool.

I have a momentary for the starter and a couple toggles. not worth taking a pic.

How did you do that?

ktmracer419

its a rare factory option found on early xjs. I have never personally seen one in my lifetime.

Best bet is to scour the salvage yards til ya find one, then grab that piece along with every sensor.

That cool as hell. I want it! Lol never seen one of these before any idea if you can get all the sensors and cluster as a remanufactured part?

I've got my iPod velcroed there. Perfect fit. Got the iPod cable ran where it's behind the bezel and comes out just right to plug into the bottom.

I put my swtiches there for lights and fans.

Mine is just the "dummy plate". I have a factory clock that goes there, but too lazy and my HU shows the time. I will probably mount some switches and 1 or 2 extra lighter adapters/USB ports.
There is a company that makes bolt in panels for those with different options such as switches/plugs and such.
I will have to find it, but if anyone is interested in the clock panel, I'll give you a good deal .

Same here except my stupid clock is messed up. I can set it and not even 2hrs later it shows a totally different time then what it really is.

Sounds like your memory wire isn't hooked up.
