I am in the process of trying to recontent the clock in my 99svt. I followed the 'alternate method' lined out in the FAQ. However, it is not working right. The clock is 'on' (barely readable), but is not 'lit'. The anti-theft light is not working, I cannot change the time on the clock, and when the clock is plugged in - I have no sound from my factory cd player. Basically, I was a TOTAL pain, and it doesn't even work... I feel like I must be really missing something here.
A few questions:
If I were to use the 'original' method in the FAQ vs. the 'alternate' method, what would plug into the pins on the back of the clock? Would I still need a serial cable adaptor from a PC (as outlined in the alternate version)? Or is there something else I can buy to plug into there? Also, the original method says to unplug the wires from the tape player. Obviously I can't unplug my cd player wires as they are being used. Do you just tap into the cd player wires with wire taps?
Maybe I am reading too much into this, but the 1st version didn't make much sense to me, and the second version seeming like alot of hassle, and didn't work..
I am lost, and any help/advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
