Hi everyone,
I have a 2010 78 series troopy, GXL, complete with the blanked off sectionin the dash where a clock is fitted in some models. The clock is a multi function unit, with both the clock and a temperature gauge. These clocks are fitted as OE to the GXL 76 Series and I believe also to the new 79 series dual cab troopy.
No matter how much I ask Toyota, they are not forthcoming in telling me if the clock can be fitted in my car. They will only tell you if the item you are asking about is fitted as OE to your vehicle. Can anyone here tell me if the wiring loom on the 78 series is the same as the 76 and therefore can the clock be fitted?

I have a 2010 76 series and fitted the clock and temp gauge to
mine . I suggest you look to see if the wire for clock is there behind the plate . To
check remove large radio surround to remove blank plate -the wire was tucked up behind. Also
check for temp gauge wire/plug it is on the drivers side of radiator.I suggest you
check the Lcool site as someone has posted photos of the clock and temp gauge unit a few days ago.
Hope this helps

Thanks for your help. Yes I know the 76 series (GXL) came with the clock as OE so I assume yours was not the GXL? I will
check the site you mentioned. Thanks again.

Hi Peter -
mine is a GXL but the 2010 model did not come with the clock as standard in Australia so i fitted it myself a year ago.

I have checked the radiator, both sides and the only wiring I can find is the connectors for the headlights so maybe the wiring loom is different in the 78 series and 76 series? This seems to be getting bigger than Ben Hur so I might lose interest I reckon.
I have registered with the Lcool site some have said I should
check and when they finally get back to me with their password etc, I will
check what I can find there. Thanks for your interest and clues.
