cassette player? they never had those fitted....

the lcd doesn't have a time display option?

wear a watch maybe. you don't want some cruddy little clock stuck somewhere.

expensive option is put a statesman dash surround in that has a spot for a clock up the top.

Why don't you put a statesman dash in it and then you'll have a pretty cool clock where the trip computer buttons are. I did it to my calais and it wasn't very expensive or even hard to do but it makes the car look really good.

I got a Statesman clock and cut a hole in my dash - fit the clock below the trip computer switch - does the job.

The statesman setup - with the clock on top and trip computer switch below is better, I sometimes think I'd like to switch to the statesman dash - but it's too much money for such a small thing.

Ebay is not a bad place to look. They don't come to often but I got my dash with all the switches and clock for about $100 which I don't think is too bad and I've seen them go even cheaper. The clock is easy to wire up also, it's just 4 wires 2 to power the clock and 2 for the lights.

If you go the statesman dash you get the woodgrain or silver fascia also which doesn't over power the interior like painting the whole dash or the calais woodgrain does.
