mine has neither of those either. just wire cig lighter in from the exhisting wiring. all you need is a + and an earth. as for clock the same i'd imagine and a live from your headlight switch for clock backlight

Wtf means "what the funk"

I'm sure the wiring is there, it might just be taped up in the loom.
Take the vent plastic trim off.

Check everywhere, mine didnt have a clock or a ciggy lighter but the wiring was tucked down the side of the heater matrix with the radio wiriing IIRC.

Clock illumination will be grey/green, can't remember the clock wire colours off the top of my head (I was thinking black & brown, but black is switched live...). Clock power connector is a chunky plug, so if its there you should see it.

If you can't find anything, you can always pull an illumination wire off the feed that lights up the rotary controls. As for the clock and cig lighter power, its probably easier to run a new cable into the car rather than tap into something else there.
