Default Change (time on) the dash clock?

All,

I can't seem to find a thread describing how to adjust my clock (I am actually embarrased how long I've been searching) ... any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Alex

If you're trying to adjust for the recent change, just hold the hour button for a few seconds, until you see it advance one hour; the same goes for the minutes. Pressing "00" will reset the seconds.

LMAO.. I think all digital clocks are the same. Hold the button and it magically changes.. Sorry for being a jerk, but it should be common sense.

Open up the dash and look behind the clock...there should be a dial you can twist to move the digital hour and minute hands. lol jk...must be a monday thing.

Noted. Next time I try to change my clocks, I should do so in the daylight ... because the H and M didn't light-up when I pulled out of my garage ... I'm an idiot ... it's okay.

Haha I thought this thread was about changing the "lights" behind the clock to LEDs or something.

It's okay. I didn't know what the hell the 00 button did until two days ago, when I was fidgeting with it for daylights savings

Yes, I saw it after wasting a couple minutes looking through menus on the nav screen.

You have to change it on the nav menu too. Not the time setting, it gets that from the satellites, but whether daylight saving time is active. Otherwise, if you put your nav in the mode where it shows projected arrival time, it will be off by an hour.
