Default Digital clock?

Did a quick search but didn't find anything. Aside from the really nice clock right in the middle, is there a way/option to add a digital clock onto the navi screen somewhere? Thanks

That would be a "no". I've been going through the owner's manual and there is only one page for "Clock". That's the one in the middle.

Default NAV/GPS Clock?

Somewhere buried in the setup or Nav setup screens there is talk of an additional clock and how to set it. It mentions that this clock is for use by the NAV system and is not linked or otherwise associated with the analog clock on the dash. So, the clock is there but I don't believe it can be displayesd. Maybe in a future software update.....

I have only had the car since Monday, so I haven't had time to dig around in there. Thanks

this is why I asked b/c I saw that and had to adjust that clock for day light savings. I figured there would be a way to get that on the display but couldn't figure it out. I hope they address it w/an update

Too funny!

I have no issues with my beautiful analog clock and actually prefer it.

However just this morning My daughter who is now in 6th grade was getting out of the car and for the 4th time this week asked me what the time was??? I said do you really not see the clock? She said...where? I pointed to thr middle of the dash and she says...oh, I never noticed it because I've been looking for a digital clock.

LOL...what is this world coming to???

I compare a digital clock to a typed out letter, compared to an analog being the handwritten letter.

Although the handwritten letter is classy, it sometimes can be hard to read, the typed out letter is precise and easy to read without much effort, but is not as original/genuine as the handwritten.

So when will I get my "typed out letter" in my car?

I thought it was strange that someone would want a digital clock, but I read more and more people looking for one so I guess I might be the strange one.
I much prefer the analog since I can quickly tell the time by hand position and don't need to try to focus on numbers (my eyesight isn't great). Much like my speedometer and tachometer, it's the needle position itself, not the actual printed numbers that give me an indication of speed. I guess it's whatever your used to using to tell time, I have always had analog watches and clocks (except of course the nightstand clock).

Definitely would a prefer a digital clock. About the time it takes for me to see where both hands are on the analog clock I can look at a digital and have my eyes back on the road. Heck, I would even pay a few dollars to get a hack on the display to add a digital clock ! Actually....I see it as obnoxious that they don't even give the user a choice. My Infinity includes both.......you can look at whichever you choose.
