loss of time display

[gelo]

i just got my hear unit installed today
i didnt realise this until now
but i have lost my time display

i drive a ek4

has anyone had a problem like this or know how to fix it
is it hard it fix?
if so
i may have to contact the guy that installed the h/u again

Just contact the guy who insatlled it. SOunds like he might have unplugged the clock and forgot to plug it back in.

if its just a matter of plugging it in
can i just open up the panels and plug it back in myself?

actually
the time displaye is 'on'
it doesnt display the time, theres just realli dim lines on it

[wynode]

Take it back to where you got it done then.

you should also try cheaking the fuse, might have blown up when it was getting installed

[VTEChnique]

your clock on the dashboard or the time display on your head unit ?

if is headunit - call the installer and dont take NO for an answer

Just a guess... if it is dim, it sounds like he might have used the ignition wire from the clock and tapped it to use for the HU, if this is the case then i wouldnt return to him ever again.

yeah using power from another accessory is pretty dodgy...before i started installing them myself, I had one 'professionally' installed....the twat hooked it up to the bloody horn circuit! :P So, whenever I punched the horn, the stereo would turn off completely as the horn took all the amps/volts available for that circuit, and the stereo would reset to factory settings!! he fixed it free of charge...it was in his business interests to do so. :x Experts are not always experts! ;)

he may have used the clock fuse/wire for the hu and tapped into another sorse for the clock
easy to check yourself if you have half hour
