I edited my post as the grammar wasn't great
When you get this working it would be interesting to see if the QUARTZ clock then shows the same time or if they both run completely separate clocks.

I have this option and was confused by it.

It has never lit up a symbol, however, I am informed that Australia has no atomic clock broadcasting facility.

Holy thread revival batman!

So, was this an option on S8's? I would have thought it should be standard, especially on facelifts? I need to see if mine has it, or were they present but need coding in?

It's certainly not listed as an optional extra in either the 06 brochure or 09 facelift brochure but in the time/date settings within the MMI, there is the option to change between quartz and radio clock. The setting is enabled at least, but as to whether it actually has the radio clock from factory, I'm unsure.

Should RTFM really

It never seems to be on UK models. Searching for the part on ebay, they are pretty much all in central and eastern europe.
