Hi all how do you change the date and time on the screen on the dash as i took the battery out and its reset its self

[tunnie]

press and hold the clock button above the mid, until the time starts flashing, use the . button next to the clock to advance it, press the clock once to move on to the next setting.

Or alternatively tune to Radio 2 (just an example) or any other station which broadcasts the RDS time signal and it should reset itself after a few minutes

^ wot he said, or if genuine radio still, just tune to a radio station that broadcasts rds (any bbc, plus many others) and it will automatically set

assuming you havent knocked the sensor / wiring in your exploits, sounds like a new one may be needed.  It will also prevent climate control working properly.

done nothing apart from diconet the wires to take the battery out to be tested

u say that it will reset its self if i put it on radio 2 for a few mins will it work if i have an after market radio unit

Unfortunately, I doubt it... It will however set the correct time on the head unit itself

You will have to use this method then...

press and hold the clock button above the mid, until the time starts flashing, use the . button next to the clock to advance it, press the clock once to move on to the next setting.

Bit of clarification needed here.....

preminifacelift - manual setting using buttons above display only
minifacelift - manual (using buttons above display), or auto via RDS
facelift without GPS - as minifacelift
facelift with GPS - manual via stereo - BC > Settings > Time Date, or select auto in that same menu (updates from GPS signal)

I stand corrected
