Clock?

Ok here's a good one for you guys (and gals)

I recently installled a new Headunit in my truck that does not have a clock display when the unit is off.

I have seen the rear view mirrors with compasses and temp displays, does anyone know of one that has a clock display?

All new aftermarket headunits have a clock. It's standard protocol. It should have a DISP (display) button to change from station to time... unless it is a Kraco. An orange wire on the aftermaket head unit is for constant power (MEMORY) to keep time and save saved stations

The sissue wans't that he dosen't have one but that he dosen't have one w/the unit off. You might have a button that you can push to bring up the clock when it is off. I also haven't seen a mirror witha clock but have seen the overhead consel with one.

If the unit is off and the clock stays on, it would be a drain on the battery.The headunit would have to be wired to a continuous power feed instead of ignition on/off for the clock to work on demand

Nope.
Only thing I've seen is mine is this ugly dude.
When I ask him, "Does anybody really know what time it is?" he just mocks me.
Very irritating.
