   Lots of threads on this already so try searching first bud
   
   I disconnected my battery and the same thing happened, I had to do mine..
   
   IIRC hold down the right one for about 5 secs (it might be the left one) then the hours will start flashing.. Then keep tapping the one you held down to change the hours, when you have the correct hour, wait and it will move onto the minutes automatically. Repeat the process for the minutes and then it will end automatically..
   
   Hope I helped

   As i remember, right you need to turn the ignition to the second click, and then hold both the buttons on the clocks. Then the time will start to flash, you can then adjust the hours, once thats done leave it for a few seconds, then the minutes will start to flash and you can change them.

   Yeah, you have to turn to the second click. Forgot that bit lol..
   
   I'm 99% sure that you only have to hold down 1 of the 2 buttons though..
