Clock setting

[MtnMarty]

Don't know if this is something related to the 13B07 update, but since my clock loses the time. Once it was off by almost an hour and then suddenly reset to the correct time. Then yesterday, it wouldn't adjust, being about 20 minutes slow. It is properly paired with my iPhone. Does the clock get it's time from the phone or from the gps (no gps module in my car)? I manually set the time last night and it seems to be accurate now. Any ideas anyone?

I've noticed the clock on my C-Max since the 3.5.1 update is two minutes slow.  I don't know if it's slowing more, because I reset to the correct time when I notice.  I've done this twice already.

I didn't realize mine was off until I pulled into my garage and heard on the radio that it was 12:00.  My clock was 5 minutes slow.  Humm... :detective:

I had three updates done this week - the MFT/Sync 3.5.1, the one-kick liftgate and the PCM.  I notice the clock was about 5 minutes slow.  I went into clock settings and pushed sync w GPS.  The clock then changed to one hour slow (i.e., didn't account for daylight savings time).  I advanced the clock one hour to get the correct time.

 

I tried to sync the clock w GPS the next day and again it was one hour slow.

 

I may be confused, but I thought there was a daylight savings time on/off button before I got the updates.  I can't find a daylight savings time on/off button now.  Am I missing something?

Daveo...does your car have nag? Mine doesn't and I need to go and see if that option is on my car.

That DST feature went away with 3.5.1.  Now, you have to update it with GPS, then manually change it by an hour, to get a good time hack (or do it all manually of course)..

My clock was spot on for the first month or so, and then I saw that it was running about a minute behind (given that my cell phone and the radio broadcast agreed with the current time, and MFT showed about a minute behind).  My last car had a clock that would slowly get behind, and I would have to fix it every couple of months.  Not a big deal, but a nag that I hope will not be the case on my C-MAX.

You would think that either the GPS or the paired phone would set the clock.

2014-2015 Escape/2013-2016 C-MAX/2014 Focus And 2015 Focus Vehicles - Built On Or Before 1/26/2015 - Unable To Set Clock

 

Some 2014-2015 Escape, 2013-2016 C-MAX, 2014 Focus and 2015 Focus vehicles built on or before 1/26/2015 equipped with a Front Control Display Interface Module (FCDIM) may exhibit a concern where the time on the clock display cannot be adjusted. To adjust the clock display, first set the date in the FCDIM which will then allow the clock display to be set.
