300A Dash clock and bezell

[RocsMerc]

I have a 300B 2003 Marauder, so there is no clock molded into my dash. I replaced my stock radio, which had a clock, with an aftermarket radio, that has NO CLOCK. So that is my problem. I've been driving without a clock for a few months now and it's starting to get anoying. :dunno:

Are you sure?! I haven't seen a radio without a clock function in YEARS. Was it a cheapie or somethin? Maybe it's there and you just haven't found it?

No flames, just suggestions...

I agree with Rich, my Dad had an old Clarion head unit that I just put it in my friends beater, it's probably 6 or 7 years old and even that has a clock on it.

They all have clocks, crack open the manual and browse. It should be in there somewheres.

The Marauder 2003 300A don't have clocks on their radios. That's why their clock is on the bezel. I installed a 2006 6 CD changer off a GM on my MM. My bezel did not have a clock, I had to purchase one that did because the CD player clock function does not display. The numbers displays are there but it does not illuminate. This was a brand new CD player taken off immediately after the buy. The GM did have a clock on it's bezel.

It's a cheapie, lol. It only has a clock function when I listen to am/fm radio, which I never do. This is my radio.

Also, I had it installed in my car since Nov. and i know that it dosn't have any other clock. If you notice, it dosn't even list a clock as a function. I was actualy surprised when I got to to find that it had one at all.

One of those nice little stick on clocks will work for about $2 at a flea market...or a Westclox wind up alarm on the dash like we used to do...when we slept in the car...

I have a bezel and it has the clock in it but.... the bezel looks like hell and I didnt put it in my car for that reason. The clock is still in good shape and works.
I dont know if you would want do something with the clock.

How bad is it? You got any pictures?

My Dad used to hate clocks in cars, back in the 60's and 70's. He wore a watch and found it kept better time.

I still have my Dad's watch. My Marauder keeps terrible time. hmm???

I was wondering in my 300A DTR, what is behind the panel were the clock would be on a 300A DBP?

Could I mount a flip up screen DVD Nav AVIC like unit there?

It has a scuff where it would mount under the passenger side airbag like someone put their shoe on it and where the trim wraps around the radio it has a kink in it which will stand out and look like hell. I tried to straighten it out but the metal is so thin that its a waste of time trying to make it perfect.
I bought the panel because the panel that came with my car has a very tiny dent which bothers me. I thought I was getting a mint bezel but the guy lied and Im stuck with it. I could never do the same to someone else so only the clock is available.

UPDATE: I went to the dealership for my inspection and while I was there, I stopped by the parts department and asked how much for a new one. It's $180 for just the clock bezel piece. That doesn't even come with the clock itself. (although that should be easy enough to get at a junkyard or eBay)

I don't think that almost $200 in worth it for just a clock, so I'm just going to continue searching eBay everyday and waiting on this for now. I'd be willing to pay $100 dollars for it or $80 for just the bezel with the clock cutout. So if you got one to spare, easy money. :help:

On a side note; over the last 2 months, I've seen three dash clock bezels sell on eBay for the '64 marauder. How is it that the part is easier to find on a 43 year old car than a 4 year old car? :lol:
