Ha ha ha, so funny Neil

Anyway, diagram for D2, Yellow wire I believe is earth?

Today was the first 24h since fitting it so I would expect it to pick the signal by now, or I'm just super inpatient ??

I believe transmitter is transmitting time continuously, it's just the car who only looks for it at certain times, to save battery usage I presume. If I remember it was at 3am for D2 and you could trick it by setting time to couple of minutes before 3am. So when the time turned to 3am couple of minutes later car would check for time signal and update time as necessary. It might be different on D3 and I could be mistaken something as I have not fitted one myself, search for D2 radio clock retrofit on forum it could have some useful information there.

So, a quick update. I'm in the car and no symbol so I followed above advice and changed the time to 2:56am in quartz mode and then switch it back to radio clock. As soon I change to radio clock the time comes back to correct one 8:22am which is the current.zone time not cet

How's that possible if last saved time in quartz mode was 2:56am??
Is the radio clock working without the icon on the dash!?

Video will follow shortly
