Generalbeluga Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I have perviously posted that my calendar is always set a day ahead of the correct date. This is a known issue but, since there is no user interface to adjust the day/date, I was frustrated with this relatively minor software issue. I have read on this forum that the incorrect date was caused by a faulty initial setting in the on-board GPS system. Apparently all CMax's have GPS even if they don't have NAV; something to do with time zones or the like. Well, today I signed on to MapQuest on my Mac and downloaded to the car a route for a trip that my wife and I were taking. When I returned home, I noticed that the calendar was now displaying the correct day/date! I am surmising that when MapQuest interfaced with my on-board SYNC and downloaded the route, it probably corrected the day/date on the car's GPS. In any case, it is now correct and I thought I would pass it along to the forum. If anyone else has the wrong calendar date issue, try downloading a MapQuest route to your car and let us all know if it fixed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 May be that your AM ~ PM setting was wrong, I set mine and that corrected it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generalbeluga Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I wish it were that easy! The AM/PM setting was the first thing that I checked. Last night at 10:30 PM I checked the date and it had moved ahead to Sunday. When I changed the setting to AM, the day moved back to the correct day, Saturday. It seems to me that my SYNC must be set to the wrong time zone, but I cannot find any user interface allowing me to set the time zone. Does anyone know if setting the time zone is possible? I have the standard radio with no NAV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the standard radio with no NAV. The manual doesn't mention any time zone settings except for Nav equipped vehicles. Maybe this is fixed in 3.5.1, I have an appointment with my dealer tomorrow for my Fuel Filler Inlet problem and will check on the update then.

tehuti Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Duh! I thought I still had that problem today so I checked again and it was the AM/PM setting. It should be fine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDadMiami Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 The clock problem is a known issue to Ford, per my SA, with whom I just discussed this. Ford is working on it. The problem is not limited to the C-MAX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
