Do you mean on your R56? I think the answer is no for a 1st gen MINI.

Nope - the time is in the little pod near the rearview mirror.

Yes i have 2005 R50, are you saying I can't have time displayed on my model?
That's just not very well designed is it?

My 06 MCS R53 doesn't have a time in the nav, it only shows the time in the speedo.

I agree to some extent. On R50/R53/R52, the Nav is not well integrated to other functions, and it's frustrating to have a prominent screen in the middle of the dash but not well utilized. It's almost like an add-on afterthought. The Nav is better integrated in the R56.
