Adjust Clock/Time Manually after installation of Replacement Head Unit

**DavieBhoy1969** · 23rd November 2010, 10:36

I recently bought a Kenwood system to replace my crap CD30. Everything is fine and I still have the trip computer controls on the steering wheel. However, now that the clocks have changed I cannot change the time on the display as I can't use the settings that were on the CD30. Also, I don't have the buttons near the display to manually adjust the time either. Is there another way to adjust the time manually or am I going to have to take out my kenwood and connect my CD30 again just to amend the time.
Your help would be much appreciated as it is driving me mad.
Cheers
Dave

Can be done with tech2. My local dealer would do it for free as a good will gesture because I had my annual service and mot with them. But, others have been known to charge full wack.

Worth asking!

Change your loom adaptor to this (Connects 2 CTSVX002) and alows you to access time and date change via steering wheel.

Hold the left scroll button on the steering wheel and change it through that menu. You don't need any steering adapter as you are accessing the car screen not the headunit

Worked this out as it was bugging me!

Left control on steering wheel.. using the lower button of the 2.. push and hold will get you in the menu.. then use scroll wheel to select date/time
After that im sure you can work it out as i forgot lol
