    OK. I'm a first time owner of a Ferrari California. I'm not a mechanic but I thought Iwas fairly handy. I own a Bentley, Maserati. Jaguar, and have owned Porsches, MBZ's. Can someone explain to me how to set the clock. Also, I haven;t been able to read anything about programming garage doos(i.e.-Homelink systems). Does this car not have that feature? Thanks

    Hi... I hear ya. Had to reset the clock on my Porsche this weekend. 5 secs. Did it while driving. The Cali is a two beer hassle.

    It is done through the TFT display menu. See pic.

    You toggle through this using the switches to the left of the steering wheel. If you're in the UK, may be to the right.

    Display to activate. Up and down series to toggle to desired submenu. Mode to confirm.

    Good luck!

    Homelink was an option - not standard - it may be worth you looking in the California section for future car-related queries to see if they've been previously covered

    This could be a chapter on Top Gear: F car vs. Porsche, clock! Who will win.

    No contest!

    In this pic, you can barely make out the little knob to the right of the odo. Press for a second or two, clock time flashes, press again, hour flashes, turn knob left or right until correct hour, push knob again, minutes flash, turn knob until minutes are correct. I literally can do it while careening down the interstate in about 5 seconds. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

    The Cali, it needs to be stopped, with car running, and preferably after I have done several rounds of transcendental meditation! [emoji3]

    Ferrari are great cars, but the ergonomics in many ways for these sort of things are way behind Porsche IMO. Of course, once you turn the mannetino to Sport, key to position II, and punch the Start button all such transgressions are forgotten and forgiven.

    If you open the owners manual and read, it will tell you. Or contact the local dodge dealer for instruction as the systems are identical to the dodge caravan.

    I'm an inveterate manual reader, but without the supplemental knowledge of this great community, there's a lot of things I'd never have been able to suss out on my Cali.
