Thanks for the post. Im actually trying to set the time, which seems
like it would be a pretty simple task.
I recently bought the car used. The clock on the dash and on the
radio appears like this: -- : --
I do have the multifunction computer on the car - so I'm not having a
problem toggling from the clock, to the temperature, mileage readout,
etc
I have placed the key in all positions (3, I think, including with the
car running) - and twisted the toggle switch back and forth with no
response. Is there some setting I'm missing? I wonder why the
clock would have been reset in the first place - maybe they changed
the battery out? I have a 2002 330i with 54K.
