What time is it?

[4shorts]

That's what I kept asking myself while in the tractor. Yes the new stereo has a clock but I have to go through a dozen menu's to find it so I found these great people on Ebay that sold motorcycle clocks and along with that they had thermometers as well so I went out to the tractor and measured the grab bar of the door and ordered the two items. Really nice quality items and as you can see you can use them on tractors as well as motorcycles. Perfect place for them because I don't use that door due to the 3rd function set up just below the door.

I attached a link to they're auctions so have a look a give these fine folks some business if you need an item like this. You won't be disappointed. Here's a few photo's.

Most require that the radio be turned off to set the clock. That's what always gets me. About 15-20 minutes into the ordeal, I finally remember that little detail and then it goes easy.:laughing:

mine's a clarion radio.. and the instructions don't mention how to do it has to be done with radio on.. I remember that much.

I literally sat there an hour one day and went thru all modes and got the time change prompt up.. then took another hour to figure out how to change hour location.. took me another hour to figurte out how to get to the minutes to change them.. then took another hour to figurte out how to SAVE it.

why make it so difficult???

Because they can???

Actually it has to do with the built in camera which transmits directly to AFV.

Just find a 12 yr old kid....... they'll figure it out in two seconds.

too much of a multi- step deal.. using seemingly unrelated controlls. different control to change hour than minute.. different control to switch between the two.. yet a different button COMBINATION to even get into time programming mode once you accidentally push the correct button to get you into a mode that will allow you to then push a combination ( 2 buttons and hold a 5 count ) to do it.

all that done and the time is set.. then there is a totally unrelated button COMBINATION to save it... i remember all that.. just not which buttons / dials

and to think my dodge ram which is a year OLDER has a time and minute button you hit with a toothpick or paperclip....

Fortunately, our Ford Ranger and Crown Vic both have OEM radios and the original manuals are in the glove compartments. And I have to get out the manuals twice a year to reset the clocks.:laughing:
