Setting Clock on CD/Tape/Radio/Sat Nav

[abewin]

Hi

I've just purchased my Bongo and had it imported from Japan. I have decided to keep the audio system but cannot set the clock. I believe the system to be a standard one - it has a screen which tilts out and behind the screen is the cd and tape slot. The system also has a sat nav but I do not know how to set the clock as instructions are in japanese. I can provide more info on the system although cannot see a make or unit/serial number

Many thanks

Most people just scrap the Japanese job as the radio will only receive radio 2 and the MW bands.

Sounds like the same system I had in mine. You'll be able to play cd's & cassettes & listen to Radio 2.
I was told the satnav, tv & clock were all automated by a Japanese satellite not available in the UK. Which might be why it probably shows Tokyo time & nothing else.

If you want to replace it be careful where you take it. The retaining clips have a reputation for breaking far too easily & when they do they can be troublesome to remove. I couldn't find a Halfords who would touch it (I tried four) & it eventually took a specialist over 2 hours to remove. Even with his specialist tools the clips broke..... Fortunately we had agreed a price! He called me all sorts of bad names & still goes red & shakes his fist when I drive past.
