Thanks for your interest.
Here's some information and answers to your questions.
Yes, you need the OEM case and lid and the hours/minutes
adjustment pins. I have designed the clock
to fit into the original case. Since I had to replace the
clock and the case is still fine in my car.
You can also re-use the original white plastic connector
of the OEM clock by sliding out the old female jackets and
inserting the ones of the new clock in the right order.
That's the way I did it.
Yes, it has a backup battery designed in on the PCB.
(You have to insert a coin cell battery before installing
into the console.) The clock is working with this coin
cell (CR1216, CR1220, CR1225), only, since the RTC on board
requires a back up, if the main power supply "fails".
Not installing a battery will result in not proper running
of the clock.
This will also be the case, if the battery will be empty and
needs replacement.
For further information I attached a brief report on how I
created the clocks.
If we go on a first come first serve basis the clocks
will go to:
1. GS450-Junkie
2. iflights
3. powerline84
Could you guys just write me a PM to clarify on how we
will do next steps?
I am sorry for "r00b", but I have no clocks left anymore.
I would suggest, if the others like them, I can create
some more (if still needed).
Hope these answers are helpful.
