Help adjusting clock 03 SL55

I have an aftermarket headunit (Eclipse 5495 replaced Comand), and I do not know how to adjust the time. Manual says it could be done with the Comand unit, but I no longer have that. I have also tried from the steering wheel controls but the only time option that comes up is 12-hour or 24-hour.

My clock is 3 hours behind, and it's really buggin' me.

Sorry for reviving such an old post, but I'm considering a new head unit to replace my COMAND and I'm trying to avoid any potential issues like this one.

Anyone know how to adjust the clock when the stock COMAND unit is gone?

Bummer dudes. On the 03 the GPS and command head set the time. Need to crack out the Rolex. Don't know if the SDS will do it. Pg 122 in your manual, pg195 command manual.

On the 05 you select on the command or turn it off. (time sync) then you can set it manually. pg 149 in the 05 manual.

=(

Only thing i can think of it is when its 12:00 unplug the clock and plug it back in to sync 12:00? This should reset the clock... might this be the only way?
