I looked into this a couple of months ago. The Sport Chrono "clock" is controlled over CAN, therefore it cannot be retrofit into a vehicle not designed for it as it requires CAN messages to control it (turn on, stop, start, reset, etc.) which would not be present in a car not equipped with the Sport Chrono package. Often options can be "enabled" by programming at the dealer, but this is only even possible if the vehicle was offered with the option.

Sooo, if you want to install a display like the guy that took the hole saw to his dash did, that would work. If you want to retrofit working Sport Chrono clock you are pretty much out of luck.
