I want to fit an analogue clock in place of my broken digital clock (the one which has a temp readout and memo function) but the connectors are different, does anyone have wiring diagrams for both clocks? 1990 e30 318i lux

Thanks

First time I've heard of anyone going in this direction!
The OBC in either number of button forms comes with its own wiring loom, powered from the yellow connector on the instrument cluster.
When fitting an OBC the original clock connector is pulled off and not used, so I presume, even if your OBC was factory fit, then, the connector will be tucked up somewhere behind the panel.
You're looking for a black four pin plug with red/green, brown/black,brown and grey/red wires, and it's part of the seperate dashboard loom that plugs in behind the glovebox.
Your OBC loom could be saleable if removed carefully.
