WTB: E30 6-button Clock

Just wondering if anyone has an E30 6-button clock around that they would like to sell. I retrofitted one of these into my 533i a few years ago and now its gone into "phone home" mode so I need a replacement.

Thanks in advance
Mark

it's doing that thing where it displays lotsa weird crap? smack the hell out of it and it'll stop for a while, probably a loose solder joint in there somewhere, i've never opened one to check as punching it usually works :D

Yeah, I am familiar with the technique that you describe, however, my clock no longer responds to this type of treatment...even if I talk nice to it before I smack the hell out of it.

Mine is in permanent 'phone home' mode on clock & date. Temp still works though, but flashes sometimes.
