Hi everyone, I've just bought a 2001 406 GTX HDI estate and the clock needs re-retting, the remote control doesn't seem to do anything even with new batteries fitted.
Does anybody know of anyone selling one?
Reasonable price paid.
Cheers Guys.

Re: Sat Nav & clock remote control wanted.
You don't need a r/c to set the clock - hold down the left hand button until the display changes, page through the options with the l/h button, adjust required parameters with the right, leave to 'time out' when finished, sorted!

Re: Sat Nav & clock remote control wanted.
Thanks for the welcome, the display on my 406 doesn't have the two buttons that you mention, just the little infra red receiver for the remote.
The handbook shows two types of display console but mine is the one that can't be set manually.
I'm not bothered about the sat nav but I'd like to set the the time and date, the display doesn't respond to the remote.

Hiya bandit, welcome

There's a couple of people looking for remotes at the moment, I'd recommend finding another owner close to you and having a go with their remote before you splash out on one though, where are you based?

Hiya Dai, I'm in Penarth.
Is this a common fault on 406's?

Re: Sat Nav & clock remote control wanted.
Never heared of one not working to be honest, the really common fault is to lose the remore (or buy a car that's already lost it's remote
)
You're more than welcome to try mine fella
(I'm off away for the weekend though, so we'll sort something next week
)
