Setting the Time and Date on an Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Instrument cluster

Today, I will show you a really simple procedure that not everyone knows: setting the time and date on an Audi A3 8P (the model produced from 2003 to 2013). This procedure is also valid for many other Audi car models produced in the same years. Once the instrument panel is powered on, pull the button next to the time, as shown in the video, so that the hours start to flash. Then, turn the button to change the hour value in either direction. By pulling the button again, you can switch to the minute value and others, such as the date.
