Default Boise Clock?

I am not (obviously) an electronic genius, but just how do you set the Boise clock in an '85?

You have to go to Idaho!

Actually you hold the set button and use the tune buttons for hours and minutes(it's been a while, but that's what I remember)

The directions are also in the owner's manual (at least they are in my 96). If you don't have the owner's manual you can go to the link below and download it for free:

On my '84, with a Delco Bose radio, the time is set with the seek and scan buttons. Pulling OUT on the scan button sets the hour and the seek button sets the minute. This is most effective if performed in the rotunda of Idaho's capitol building. Maybe the '85 is the same.

RACE ON!!!

*I* typo all the time. But the same name in the thread title and the text of the question, suggests, otherwise. No mercy on this forum.

It looks like 65Z01 is THE authority on THIS one.

The proper and accepted misspelling for "Bose" is "Blose".

Don't let this happen again. You have been warned.
