Time all the time?
Is there any new news regarding the AM/FM radio with single CD & cassette and having time display automatically all the time?
It’s a real PITA the way it is! Almost a recall safety issue in my mind.
<O
My 2003 XLS is nearing the end of it warranty and I’d like to get this issues fixed; but the dealership seems confused!
<O
TIA,

I had my radio in my 03 replaced at the dealer but it wasn't easy. I kept after them and with the info from the FTE web site in hand I went to them and showed them what other's had done. With that info they finally got a new radio and it worked just like the one in my 00 excursion. The clock stayed on instead of having to push a button to get it to come on every time the truck was started. Keep after the dealer and tell them to replace the radio!! Good luck!

It took almost 13 months of complaining to the dealer every time I went in I'd ask if there was anything that could be done to fix the clock issue. But they kept saying no. It finally got fixed only after showing them the info that I had copied from the FTE forum, that others had had there radios changed out. This helped change there mindset and I had to be without a radio for about a week and a half while they got another radio. For some reason they had to take mine out first and order another one.

Thanks for the help and encouragement!
I now have a properly functioning clock
!
Out of the dash, two days at the radio shop, then back in.
The info in this forum allowed me to dispel the "that's the way its supposed to work" attitude from the dealership.
I did find though a busted tab on the floor mat; looks more like the radio's plastic rather than the trim piece.
Any need to raise it as an issue with them?
TIA,
Jim
