Time

So one of the features of my old car system that I'm missing is having the time around. Watches are not for me, but now I'm late more often than before. Is there some way to set this that I haven't stumbled into yet (quite possible) or is this something not yet available on my fab new toy?

There is currently no real-time clock in the Empeg.
I believe the developers are working on extracting this from available RDS (radio signal) data, as some stations around the world encode time and other info into their signal, but I'm not sure if this is going to happen any time soon. Also, some of us are working on different external components (accessed through the serial port on the Empeg) that can hold a real-time clock, but this, too, is not quite soup yet.
Anyone know when either of these might happen?
Thanks,
Jason
