Fuctifino then. Last time the Beastie changed herself but this time nothing. I'll see if she's sorted herself out in the morning. If not i'll have to do her manually which she won't like as she's OOF's first lesbian Mig & i support her fully....
   I dare'nt do otherwise!!! 8-)

You just need a really good FM reception for RDS to work, and the clock will update itself.  When you receive an RDS signal, the clock is constantly updating itself.  :y

Prefacelift ones are manual only. Minifacelift and facelift ones will update time from RDS station transmitting time, except NCDC which get it from GPS Satellites.
