I cannot seem to store any radio stations on my stereo and cannot work out to set the time on the clock either. Any guidance offered?

It is strange that your radio can't detect any station? Where did get your stereo?

There should be a wire going to a 12v source to maintain the memory for your stored stations, look to see if there is a wire not connected..

Your 12V constant is probably not hooked up correctly. This keeps power to the radio even when the vehicle is off to store presets. This is common with radio wiring, as your radio will still function like normal when the key is on since it uses a 12V ignition wire to keep it powered.

I hate to admitt, I still have the orginal am/fm/cassette digital display radio installed in my 96 so setting the stations is fairly easy. Tune the radio to the first station, press and hold button #1. The station should go mute for a few seconds and come back on, the station should be set to button #1. Do this same sequence for the other 5 butons. Your buttons should be preset to the stations selected. I have to think about the clock, I only reset it when the time zone changes in spring and fall. I think push the "CLK" button and hold it until the hour only displays. Push the search button to change the hours, push "CLK" again to display minutes and again push search button to change minutes. Push clock button to change back to radio station and this should set the clock Usually takes me 4 or 5 tries to get it correct.
