    I googled and searched before coming here to ask what may be a stupid question.

    I am sooo used to seeing the time while driving with the radio screen off. I have looked for a clock everywhere on the dash of the 2018 with zero results.

    Has anyone added a clock to their dash that looks almost factory?

    I know...I know...my wife says the same thing to just look on my wrist; but in my defense that would take my eyes off the road err that takes my hands off the steering.

    Anyways is there a way to add a clock to the middle display in one of the empty windows? I have two compasses, one on the rearview mirror and one in the display but not a clock.

    It is surprising that one isn't available from the customization menu.

    A couple options:

    Or keep an eye on this guy:

    He's working with his students on hacking the center display and the head unit.

    I like to run with the giant screen OFF - once off you have nothing but compass , fuel economy, yada yada. most vehicles when you power off the display it still displays a clock or has a clock someplace. just odd to me-

    Place it anywhere to get the time without taking hands off steering wheel!

    No. I can do that. I turn off the screen of the radio. I was hoping to put a clock in the dashboard display next to the speedometer
