By Shaunia > I have the same problem. I have hit the menu button twice and then the up and down arrow buttons. The only thing that does is makes the screen go in and out up to 4.0. Okay, based on what you two seem to be saying..... TTime - Make sure you press the Menu button (left middle) TWICE. If you only push once, you get the "Video" menu, where you can turn the "Date Stamp" on or off. The second push gets you to the "Setup" menu, where you can SET the time and date. Shaunia - Make sure you're not recording a video while trying to use the Menu key. It won't do anything. The external blue light should NOT be flashing, and there should NOT be a flashing red dot at the top left of the screen. If they are, press the OK button to stop recording. The blue light should then stay on steady, and the red should be gone. Then, the first Menu push should change to a "Video" options screen, the second to a "Setup" screen. From there, use the arrows and OK to navigate and change things, Menu again to save the new settings and exit. Good luck, everyone!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I finally found out whats going on with the date or year not changing in the setup menu. On mine i can change the day, month and time but not the year. It is actually changing but you only see it when you leave the setup. I have mine set to display the time and date while recording. So i went in the setup and saw that the year field would not change up or down in but when i went back to video i saw that the year was several years ahead. So i just counted back how many years i needed to go to get to my year, went back to settings and arrowed down that many times and even through it didnt change in the settings screen it changed in the video time stamp.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is bug in the code. The year display in the setup menu does not show that your changing it but when you leave setup it will be changed. So you just need to count how many times you press the arrow. Nice QC!

The only thing that does is makes the screen go in and out up to 4.0. I have worked on this for an hour. I give up! My date and time is set for 2014/01/01 and the time is changing as I drive. Please help.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Its under the settings, takes a few seconds to get used to the button layout, but you need to click the gear and wrench icon and you can set up the date and time.
