Clock woes // Setting system date??


Recommended Posts

2011 Edge Limited w NAV

 

My clock time is screwed up... If I leave the GPS TIME SYNC activated, my clock is off by 1 hour back (even if I have the option to consider DST). Turns out this is because the system thinks we are December 28, So it's not DST yet.

 

- I see no way to change the date manually. I guess it should get it from GPS signals. Either it only checks once, or it checks often but get the wrong info.

 

- If I remove the option to SYNC with GPS time, and set the correct time, every time I get back in the car, the clock is off by a random amount.. 2h20 back.. next time is 3h30 back, etc..

 

Anyway to force the system to get the date from GPS again??? Anybody has the same issues?

 

I thought about a system reset, but then I would loose all my favs (radio and NAV)

I have been having something similar but not quite as severe. I have been (and Ford has been) trying to resolve the problem. I can set manually and leave the GPS setting off and things are great. Mine started in Feb. showing Eastern European Time Zone (in my case 3.5 hours fast). I got an update done (believe it was 2.7) which was suppose to correct the problem but not so. However it did get me closer to my Time Zone. It now show 1.5 hours and Eastern Time Zone. I have been communicating with the dealer and with Ford and so far they are stumped. I haven't been overly aggressive with the issue because my clock remains correct with the GPS setting off and DST on.

What software version do you have?

 

I have 2.7 and my clock is always 1 hour behind, no matter what I do. I have been told that Version 2.8 (available now) fixes this problem. I just have not have the time to go the dealer yet. I have an oil change due next month, so I will probably do it then.
