Daylight savings time?

Ossman · 10-30-2012, 06:24 AM

It's that time of year again, and I noticed that my F20 did not automatically adjust the clock. Seems rather pointless to specify the time zone in the car if it does not use that information to adjust the clock around DST. Not that there really is any excuse for a premium car like this not to have such a basic feature.

Have I just overlooked some setting, or is it really this poorly designed?

I guess the car would have to be online to know the exact dates, as they are politically decided.

They're fairly stable in many places in the world, so just having it in the normal updates should be fine for most people. Still, it has internet connection via my phone for other things, so it should be able to sort this out as well.

I thought they could get it via the radio too.
