Question
QUESTION: Hi I have a 2002 raider truck,my RDS radio says time clock not available when I push the time button. And I also tried the instructions in the owners manual, no luck what  to do?? Thanks

ANSWER: Hi David,

You'll need to either manually set it, or tune your radio to another FM station that broadcasts the time as part of its signal.  Only some stations do that.

QUESTION: Dude, I think thats what I did by following the books instuctions for setting the clock, no luck. but explain the radio station thing what station A M or F M

Answer
Hi David,

RDS tuners can tune their time off of the signal provided by some FM stations.  A station has RDS enabled if you can see the artist and/or station name on the display when you tune to them.

If your deck supports it, and their station supports it, you can make your deck fetch the time from them and automatically set itself.
