New Head Unit (Stereo) but keep time buttons
 
Hello,

First time poster here, I'm looking into possibly upgrading my stock stereo (without Bose on 2010 CX-7) with one that does CarPlay/Android Audio. And I see places like Crutchfield have faceplates that help that new deck fit in (https://www.crutchfield.com/p_120997...t.html?tp=3121). On the image of that part, I see you get a cutout for the hazard lights button, but on the left and right of the hazard button on the stock stereo, there are buttons for adjusting the time (https://www.lokeykia.com/assets/stoc...02a_640_20.jpg).

Has anyone ever put in a aftermarket headunit, and if so, what did you do about those buttons?
I was able to find an article where one person said they just didn't bother, it always showed the wrong time. But I feel like that would drive me crazy, and I've been so used to looking there for the time for so many years.

Thank you in advance!
Jason

Good day.Yes, I had similar problems, I did not know which device would suit me. But I was lucky. Because I could find a company who can help with the selection of the device. Plus is a guarantee. I was completely satisfied. I advise everyone. I hope you will not consider this as PR. Who are interested in contact. They will surely help.

I replaced the head unit on my 2007 cx7 with the Atoto a6.

To be honest I did not think about it until I saw this post.

I just checked it my car and it seems to sync together with the new head unit.

See attachedATOTO a6 head unit pic.

Interesting, I'll take a look at that head unit then, see what I think about it. Might be a good solution for me.
Thank you so much.

If the clock would bother you that much, just go out at midnight and disconnect your battery for a second. :D

I did it and bought my unit from carnaviplayer. Couldn't be happier plus it looks OEM

Does your clock automatically sync with the head unit then?
