General Changing the time on the clock - aftermarket radio

[dmck92]

Hi all,

I have replaced my factory 1.6 16v Stilo radio with an aftermarket Pioneer one.

Just wondering if anyone knows how to set the time on the dash as obviously the manual is now relatively useless in this regard.

I have changed the time on the radio's clock recently for DST but this hasn't reflected on the dash. Is there any way to do this or will the clock just be an hour fast until the clocks go forward.

Thank you!

Hi, Welcome to the FF.

Was the original radio the standard Visteon one, or the Connect Nav one?

Thanks Davren

It was the standard Visteon one.

If the car has never had a Connect Nav unit fitted, then all functions, including setting the date and time, should be available on the MODE button.

Press the MODE button, then use the up/down arrow buttons to step through the various settings.

EDIT: Instructions for using the MODE button start from page 23 of the Stilo owner's handbook. You can download a copy from the forum downloads section here: https://www.fiatforum.com/downloads.php?do=download&downloadid=2

So I'll need to reconnect the old Visteon to change the time on the dash then?

No.... you shouldn't have to. If the car has never had a Connect Nav, all the adjustments should still be on the MODE button.
