Factory head unit clock question

[Chevyguy78]

Yesterday I picked up a Delco AM/FM, CD
deck out of an 01 GMC Sierra for $50 @ the junkyard. Everything works but the clock doesnt keep time. Any idea's?

Question #2

There is a spot on the back of the deck that looks to be a plug for a tape deck or something, is it possible that an aux plug could be wired in to run an Ipod off of it. Here is a pic of the deck.

I do not have a pic of the extra plug but im hopeing you know what im talking about.

The extra slot is for either a separate CD player (if that were a tap deck) or a CD changer. I'm not sure an iPod AUX can be wired via it, so you'd have to do some more broader googling.

As for the clock not keeping time, I think there's a 12v constant wire that draws a small amount of current to save the time. Or there may be a small battery in the h/u that's supposed to keep the time.

It doesnt have to be just I pod but something like a head phone jack wouldbe cool too.

Ill do some research on the little battery deal.

Anyone else have any ideas

Does it keep your radio presets after shutdown and restart?

Does that plug directly in to that aux plug in the back if your factory stereo?
