Here's a little ditty I penned this morning, called 'Radio Clock Blues':

Well I woke up this morning (du Duh du du)
And got into my car (du Duh du du)
And then I noticed the time (du Duh du du)
Had been set from afar (du Duh du du)

There was a strange little symbol (du Duh du du)
To the left of the time (du Duh du du)
And although it is sad (du Duh du du)
My face it did shine (du Duh du du)

The whole thing's a mystery (du Duh du du)
Why it took so long (du Duh du du)
But it's working just fine now (du Duh du du)
And that's the end of this song! (du Duh du du)

Goodness knows why it took 4 days or so, but there you go. All I have to do now is get into the menu and set it t UK time (it's reading German time at the moment).

Must be that typically Scottish corrugated iron Faraday Cage you park it in.......

It finally did get a signal whilst it was parked in the garage (which is brick built, with a timber roof, you cheeky sod! :)) overnight last night.

I just changed mine with the clock settings buttons on the cluster :)

Because reception in the area where your receiver is currently located is not ideal.
Consider relocating it to OEM place like Adrian and myself did and it will never ever lose signal.

Anywhere further South or East would do (from Scotland) :ROFL:

If receiver located in OEM place it will reliably work in places like Moscow and Turkey.
