• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I was out of town during the Daylight Savings Time transition and just got back last night. I just noticed that my vehicle time (head unit) haven't updated even though the GPS time is checked for Date/Time.
I had to uncheck that option and manually adjust to the correct time. Anyone else having this issue?

Note: I've also used the NAV function thinking that it would sync with the satellites to auto adjust the time....but it didn't.
 
You need to go to Settings/General and set the checkmark for DST instead of manually adjusting. Checkmark GPS date/time as well.

ahhh ... I didn't get that far in the settings to see that option. I'll check again later on my way home.

Thanks.
 
GPS will keep the time, but you have to manually switch between daylight and standard time by checking or dechecking the DST box in the clock settings.

My Gladiator GPS time even checking the box to use GPS time is 2:30 hours off, weird.
 
We live in right next to the Eastern and Central time zone. We prefer Eastern time zone. We are currently unable to to force the system to stay on Eastern time zone. Gps Time is un checked but the system continues to adjust itself depending on where we are.
