#1: Changing clock Author: ukskater01, Location: sutton surrey/welwyn garden cityPosted: Fri Sep 02, 2011 3:50 am ---- Hi guys n girls, I bought a ppt40 clock for my 2001 preplex 206 but have no connector. I've managed to get some connectors for the pins and the wires are tightly on now. I used the how to and a multi meter for wiring help.
My question is should I disconnect the battery as I'm going to splice into the original small clock wiring so it can be swapped back if needed
Thanks

You need a PPT 40 3 line display
As for the trip computer working, you need to either:
Change the complete com2000 unit for one with trip button on the end of the wiper stalk.
OR
Change the end of the wiper stalk for one with the trip button.

#8: Re: Changing clock Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Fri Sep 02, 2011 5:31 am ---- A single line PPT 40 display to a 3 line PPT 40 is simple plug & play.

I changed it as the time date couldn't be changed.
Cheers

Do you not need to enable the trip in the BSI as I've seen an option for it? Just a thought.
#11: Re: Changing clock Author: banboots, Location: AyrshirePosted: Fri Sep 02, 2011 11:20 am ---- Thats a pass on that as the one that was in gave the temp but couldn't change the time or date as the buttons did nothing so really don't know....

If you have a factory cd changer then YES.
If you dont then apparently the trip computer just works once the wiper stalk button is working.
#13: Re: Changing clock Author: rudymason, Location: walesPosted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:15 pm ---- so aslong as i find a 3 line ppt40 display with the same plugs as mine should be straight swap and get the wiper stalk off any car (presumably the same car i take the display unit from) and it should be fine
i found a gti near where i live but the plugs were slightly different so i thought id have to get the splicing part done first??
cheers!

I'v just done this yesterday, PP-T40 3 bulb single line display to PP-T40 Multi line display. Straight Swap. To get the trip computer to work, take the very end of the wiper stalk off (not the chunk with the ribbon cable attached, just the button) stick a cocktail stick or similar into little hole, see if it works (on my single line it changed from radio info to date and temp), as soon as I fitted the multi line display the whole trip comp worked.
