Correct Time On Car Radio

[Another?Maybe!]

The radio in my Gal (5000cd) seems to have lost its correct clock time function (press the 'menu' button until time displays, can then toggle between todays date & time). The date is ok but time is about 2hrs ahead. It should tie in automatically with the RDS signal.

 

Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas for a solution (the manual just says adjustment is automatic)?

 

Or I guess I will just have to use my watch or get stronger glasses so I can see the clock on top of the dash!

The clock in the radio was useful to check other timepieces for accurate time.

 

Cheers

IIRC you have to be tuned into an RDS radio station and then the radio updates the time and date, this info is held in the unitand updated when you tune into a RDS station when it's adjusted again, try leqaving it turned on and tuned into a RDS station for a while and see what happens?

You do in the user control panel in your contols

 

 

You may adjust the base time zone

The time (including your current adjustment) is: Mar 26 2006, 11:13:52

(GMT - 12:00 hours) .....................

 

Is daylight savings time in effect?

(If you have selected the correct time zone and the clock appears an hour out, check or uncheck box to suit)

And me! Looky here now, they have changed from 11am to 12.

 

Good job we have an expert around to advise us. Thanks.

 

Don't think the radio clock is that simple though as I've tried all the ways I can think. Will give it another go though next time I go out.
