FAQS

Can I install a better clock in my car?

It is possible to replace your car clock with a more accurate timepiece, but it may not be easy. Car clocks are typically integrated into the car’s dashboard and connected to the car’s electrical system. One option is to install a digital clock that can receive accurate time signals from GPS or radio time broadcasts. Another option is to install an aftermarket clock that uses quartz crystal technology for precise timekeeping.

If I install a new clock in my car, will it affect the warranty?

Some car manufacturers may not allow modifications to the car’s electrical system or dashboard, and making such modifications could void the car’s warranty.
