How to set the time on a Citroen DS 5 with a non-functioning radio

Model: Citroen Ds5 MK 1 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Onboard computer

In this video, we see how to set the time on a Citroen DS5 with a broken radio. The youtuber intends to replace it with an Android multimedia screen, but in the meantime, the clock isn't working because it's connected to the radio. However, it is still possible to reset the time correctly because the clock is still functional. We can only do this twice a day: at 11:59 or 23:59. At this exact time, we need to disconnect the positive pole of the battery for a moment, and then reconnect it. Once reconnected, we will see the clock hand realign to 12:00 and start working normally again.
