Porsche Sports Chrono Clock - RETROFIT DIY
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 ноя 2023
- First a big shout out to Tommy and 'Tommy L Garage' / RUclips and Instagram / for his excellent DIY video doing this exact job in his 991.2 Carrera T. Without his video I would have kept assumed incorrectly that it isn't possible to add a Sports Chrono clock into a Porsche that didn't ship with it from the factory. How wrong I was!
I love love LOVE how these clocks look in the center of the dash of Porsches, particularly the later generation of Paragon brand clocks that were introduced with the 991.1 and other models around 2011 onwards such as the the Cayman/Boxsters. They really make the cabin 'pop', while maintaining a refined and elegant look.
In this video I also show you have to change the color of the clock face. The black unit I picked up from eBay now has a factory quality 'racing yellow' color face and it looks truly epic.

lol. My 3 and 5 year old came in the room rocking their heads so much to this beginning and ending beat. I’ve hit rewind 10 times and they still want to hear it again
Ha! That’s awesome!! 👏
Great easy DIY Mod!!! Looks fantastic!
Thank you! 😊
Glad you tackled it and thanks for the shoutout. This is a must mod!
Any time!
Another great video james. Car looks great!
Thank you!!!
I like the use of yellow accents to compliment calipers and stitching . Go for it.
Thank you!!
love your videos from Japan.
Thank you very much! 🙏
Really like the color, Graphite Blue Metallic, I have the same color in my Carrera 4S cabriolet 991.2.
Hi James 😊
I haven’t come across any of your posts for a long time, not sure why but it’s great to hear from you again cheers 👌
Thank you!! Cheers!!
Happy to report completed this sport chrono retrofit on my 991! Many thanks to James for the great guide on doing this, and the very helpful follow-up emails. Truly an enthusiast!
Also a big thank you to Tommy L Garage for showing this modification can be done. I suspect many people are retrofitting the clock now because they fly off eBay very quick now!
Hello Gorrila_Man92. Were you able to code the sports chrono on your 991.1? Or just setup as a clock?
Ahhhh that’s awesome!! Great job!!!
Thank you for the extra detailed instructions, I don't know a single thing about wiring so this helps a lot. It's been my dream to install the sport chrono clock on my otherwise perfect 991. Definitely want to go OEM like you because the AliExpress knock off version build quality isn't as good.
You're very welcome! Please let me know if you have any questions about parts or the job itself. Hit me up here or at contact@autoamateur.com. Always happy to help.
I sent you an email about the parts to purchase, thank you very much for the assistance!@@AutoAmateur
No new videos, no new Curbs and Canyons podcasts, miss your content.
Wow, really sketchy wiring job there 😅
Hahaha. Not pretty for sure.
If I tune a C2 base with APR Stage 1, what would I be missing if my car does not have sports Chrono package? Just the mode selection? With the modes oem it also adjusts the suspension right?
How did you figure out which wires to tap into? Install looks amazing.
I watched Tommy L Garage’s video first! 😂 The colors line up though.
Greetings James
I had a 997 back in ‘17-‘20 and heavily relied on all your DIY videos.
Last week acquired a ‘14 991 and was so relieved to see you’re still on RUclips!
Am considering the chrono face/dial color swap.. Is this a tough job? I’m really worried about the small white hands replacement.
Thanks in advance for your assistance with this!
Again, so happy to see your awesome videos!!!
-Chad
You can do it!! I actually just launched a brand line of factory quality tach faces… lots of unique designs and colors, plus the option to completely custom design one for yourself. Check out AutoAmateur.com/Shop ! Let me know if you need any help. 🙌
P.s. so glad to hear you’re finding my 991 videos helpful as you did my 997 ones! Cheers!
Looks good, James!! Link to eBay seller? I need a Speed Yellow Sport Chrono gauge face.

After following your directions a while ago I was able to change out my chrono color but still can’t get all clamps to snap back so mine sticks up close to windshield.
Do you mean the trim clips which hold the trim piece in place? Check each of them to see if you manage to bend any of them. You can usually bend them back easily. But also check to make sure there's nothing getting stuck, like the wiring.
Did you model already have the loom for a clock? I have a 2019 Macan and the dealer has said I dont have the loom to run the clock, I am after another way of connecting it
Hey! Just watch the video. I discuss this. My car didn’t have the loom. I bought a loom for a Boxster clock, clipped off the part I needed and then ran the wires into the PCM using some wire taps. Easy.
WOW!!! I want that. Cound you share the link to where you bought the sport chrono and the housing!
I'll put the links in the video description. You can buy a new clock from Suncoast Parts for around $800, but you can find used units in good condition on eBay for around $250/$300. The trim housing itself and the wiring harness I bought new from Gaudin Porsche Parts, but you can order them from any reputable Porsche parts dealer. That trim piece runs around $150, maybe $50 for the wiring loom.

Hi mate Hope you can help. After a bottle of Red last week I accidentally bought the compass instead of the clock off eBay.
Do you know if this can be installed to my Macan? At the moment it has nothing. Just a plain boring dash!
Yes it can!! Drop me a line at contact@autoamateur.com
@@AutoAmateur good man thank you. I’ll do that over the weekend
I have a 2023 Cayman GT4 that I’m trying to do the same thing. I did buy a used GT4 OEM chrono but cant find a wiring kit. You think the kit you had will work?
Depends on the PCM unit you have. Which one do you have?
I have just the regular PCM without navigation.
@@AutoAmateur I have the regular PCM without navigation and was hoping I can find a wiring kit for plug and play but has proved to be difficult and can’t find one for 718
Cant u update software to get the extra features?
That's a good question. I don't know actually! Good suggestion.
Greetings, where can I get the entire system including the chrono?
