2008 S63

Hello all
I have just bought an imported Japanese 2008 S63 in New Zealand and need some assistance.
I have discovered a few minor issues
Comand does not have the ability to get into a screen where I can set the time
I am unable to pair a phone via Bluetooth
Obviously the GPS doesn't work , not a big issue though I did manage to get this fixed on my previous Cayenne import.
Unable to access the HDD to load music ( not sure if this is possible)
any help would be appreciated thanks
Jo

Jo..... Command changes the clock via the vehicle settings menu.

The spinny knob in my car had some funkiness such that it made accessing menus a pain. I solved this by pushing down and forward on the knob while turning it side to side. I got a bit aggro with it. Worked.

Thanks, unfortunately I tried this but for whatever reason there doesn't even appear to be anywhere in the menu to set the time. I have heard that Japanese cars were synchronised with GPS to get time, if so there may be no way to change this.
