Help: Chronometer Clock

If I purchase the dash mounted chronometer / stopwatch, would I be able to just install the stopwatch on the dash board? or do I need connect with the computer? do I need to have sport or chrono package to utilize the stopwatch? is it easy to install?

I suppose you could find the parts and install the chronometer.

Not sure how you'd activate it though, as the on board computer is used to start/stop and reset.

It is also integrated into the PCM module, so you may be biting off quite a bit.

not sure if i understand the question completely but if u're talking about retrofitting the chrono package then i'm not aware it can be done.

You use a seperate stalk on the steering colum to operate the sport chrono. retrofitting would probably be impossible or too much $$$ to install as you would need a bew steering colum and computer among many many other parts. If you just want a stop watch I'd suggest going to a race shop and get one of the models you attach to the steering wheel to time yourself.

I have the sport chrono package but i never used the stopwatch ever since i own the car. I think it is the most useless option.

This is a switch - people are usually asking how to get rid of the wart on the dash...

I have difficulty using the bar graph to show lap times and hitting the stalk while piloting the car, the sport feature is great with remapping and the PASM sport mode.
