Setting the clock if stereo has been replaced?

I have a C3 2007 with the multifunction display, type C and the original stereo has been replaced by an aftermarket model (Kenwood KMM-BT203).
How do I set the clock? No steering column kit has been installed but I hope there is any other way to set the clock?
Changing to my old unit just for setting the clock doesn't sound like a smooth idea.

Hi nizzehult

I am not aware of any way to set the clock without the correct radio or a suitable interface that takes the place of the original radio.

A Connect2 kit can provide the radio to car interface you need.

Hi,

Yes, I'm aware of those (rather costy) kits that includes support for the steering column stalk controls but I'm not so sure that it will help; setting the time (and some other settings) has dedicated buttons for that on the original VDO stereo - but not on the steering column stalk control.
But there must be some way of setting the time in Lexia, right? I have Lexia myself so I'm fine with that if it works.

Well, have a good old browse through lexia while its connected to the car and screen shot (ALT+PrtSc) the page you are on when (if) you find it Paste into paint and save as a .jpg then attach Good Luck

These clever little interfaces use a combination of button presses to generate a signal to replicate the setting button on the original radio. Download the manual for the interface from Connects2 and you'll see what I mean.
