2012 G550 Setting Clock in Instrument Cluster

Hello. Does anyone happen to know of a way to set the clock in the instrument cluster if an aftermarket radio is installed? Thank you!

Yes. The only way to do this is by disabling the navigation system unit using STAR/Xentry. Then you'll be able to set the clock in the instrument cluster settings.

Just FYI. When I set the clock using the instrument cluster, after about 2 weeks of time, the clock ends up reading about 5 minutes fast. No idea if this is related to removing the OE navigation system, just how the system works, or if my electronics are being wonky.
