2013 Can't set clock with aftermarket radio
I looked on the threads that listed this. They all ended suddenly with no real resolution except one who had a bad battery.
Battery is fine. Here's the deal. Its an Alpine ILX 107 replacing the factory radio. Took it out of the '07 Mini where I just adjusted the clock via the tach - pushing stalk until the clock symbol came up. No problem
Now with the 2013 the clock symbol never shows up. Battery is fine. It was removed when doing some stereo work by a top mechanic who has the factory computer and reset all errors afterwards.
Everything else is fine. Its just annoying and I'd really like to fix it.

This is mostly correct. Without the OEM head unit you will not be able to set the clock. I had a similar issue when I tore the ribbon cable on my OEM head unit. It did not effect the CBS data, only the clock. I resolved it by replacing it with another OEM head unit.

Can anyone else confirm?

That is the answer I am looking for. Warning triangle and a message when I start the car. That makes it worth the effort to relocate the radio.

I have a 2010. Maybe some things have changed between the 2010 model and the 2013, but I replaced my radio when it died with a garden variety Alpine single DIN thing. I set the clock using the B/C button and the little display in the tachometer. It seemed like the clock would reset over night. Also, no radio settings were retained either. I ran a power wire straight from the battery to the radio. Seems to have fixed both problems. Car's clock stays set and so does the the radio settings. I have no idea if the two are related, but that's what happened to me.
