I have no clock button on my 2004:Honda Accord lx
Cheryl, on older models like your 2004 Honda Accord, the buttons can be set up a little differently. Try this to set your clock:
– Press and hold the SOUND button.
– Change the hours by pressing H (Preset 4) and the minutes by pressing M (Preset 5).
– When you are finished, press the SOUND button again to set the time.
Let us know if this works for you!

Hi Vishan. Unfortunately, Honda does not sell the Honda Vezel here in the United States. We recommend contacting your local Honda dealership for more information.
Hello, I have an old car honda accord tourer 2003 with navigation model and how to set the clock which is on the dashboard?
Hi there! Unfortunately, American Honda has never sold the Accord Tourer here in the United States, so we’re not familiar with that model. We recommend asking your local dealership for help.
I cannot reset the time on my 2010 Honda with a navigation system. I took it to the Abilene, Texas, Honda dealership and the people that worked there could not reset my clock either.
HELP!!!!!!
