Thinking about adding more 'frills' to my '96 stripper Tacoma

So for about $750, I've added an ARE cap and AC to my base model 2.4 Tacoma.
I'm considering another couple of inexpensive options that I could add from salvage parts. If someone can tell me the required factory wiring harness is already there - like it was for my AC install - I'd like to add a factory clock and delay-wipers.
Thanks.

Factory clock is prewired and the plug is connected to a dummy plug behind the spot the clock should be.

Wipers is possible, but you are going to have to depin some wires and swap in a new switch. I did it on my 96.

 

Thanks,
I don't really want to mess with the wiring, and I'm slowly getting used to my Tacoma's single-wipe feature.

As for the clock, the Sony aftermarket CD-radio has one, but invariably I wind up hitting the wrong one of those tiny buttons, which makes the clock go away!

Right now, after having the battery disconnected during my recent clutch job, the display has defaulted to 'demo' mode. So I get to watch SONY...CD...AM...FM...HIGHPOWER...MEGABASS... scroll by endlessly, ANNOYINGLY, until I get out my cheat-sheet to find the right combination of buttons and menus to program it back to 'normal'!

Anyway, the cap and air-conditioning was a necessity. I can live without the clock and delay-wipe for now.

The factory located clock is terrible. You will never see it unless you jut your head upwards to clear the steering wheel stalk. People actually remove their factory clocks since they're so badly placed. I'm sure it's easy to add your radio head clock back if you go into the settings.

 

Factor y delay wipers are controlled by the stalk if memory serves. No wiring needed, just a couple screws.

 

Yeah. I've read how poor the clock location is.
I think I can use all the Sony's main radio & CD functions now without touching the tiny row of buttons on the bottom of the unit. Most of them are the radio presets, but the CD track selection and clock presets are mixed in with them and impossible to read from a driving position.
I'll just have to change stations & tracks with the scan & seek buttons located around the volume knob, and keep away from that row at the bottom. What a pain this modern digital crap is!

In my experience, to add a delay-wipe, besides a different stalk-control, it needs a timing circuit or module added somewhere. If I didn't have to mess with changing pins or other wiring mods, I'd go for it.

True for 98+. 95-97 are in fact different

 

Ah, I had a 2k when I did I mine.
