Setting the clock
Something simple.
Just installed factory am/fm single cd radio. No clock button showing, how do I set clock?
My owners manual doesn't show this radio.
Thanks.

Thanks but no clock button, or menu button. Not sure of the year/model it is out of. I am sending an email to where I bought it (ebay) but probably won't get answered for a day or so.

I'm curious what it looks like now. I've seen the single cd/cassette which is what they are talking about, and the 6 disc changer. I don't recall the single cd/cassette having RDS either. What is this strange radio you've got? Lol

Still working torward the pic. Looks similar to your 6 disc changer, except one slot below the display. I am thinking the add said either an F150 or a Ranger, but it does have the ability to control a remote changer, think that is the RDS button. Nice sound, much nicer than the JVC the previous owner had in it. And my 57 year old eyes can see the LARGE PRINT on the buttons.

Actually i looked up RDS the other day for mine, because I could turn it on or off, but didn't know what it was. It stands for Radio Data System, and is the function that allows stations to broadcast information like station name, song name, artist info, etc..., and your radio will decode it and display it for you.

Wife made me wait until yesterday to open box, so I haven't played with it a lot, yet.
Thanks Jeff.

I presumed it was a factory SD radio (you left that F150 or Ranger detail out). Well, i tried.

Don't know about an F150 radio but the radio in my '02 Ranger is the same as my '01 250 SD. I have to retrain myself which buttons to use every time change ( 63 year old memory ) but there is a CLK button on both of them.

I'd be curious what the tag on the back reads... or to see an image of it the stereo... or what the Ebay ad alleged. So far, all we have to go on is "factory am/fm single cd radio"... and that could be from a 1994 Dodge Dakota.
