What's the time Mr. Wolf?

[V8Ian]

My radio insists on displaying the time, one hour ahead. As there is no time zone an hour ahead of AEST, I'm assuming it's not GPS/www altering it. Any ideas, team?

If there is an option for network or similar adjustment, tick it then un-tick it.

Go in and turn off Daylight Savings time.
(It’ll reduce your upholstery fading too [emoji12][emoji13][emoji2957])

Yeah,but you know how he hates getting up early for the milking.

At the moment there is no daylight saving time anywhere in the country.
I even tried setting the time an hour before real time, but it then jumped forward two hours.

I'm not at all sure that's a reasonable assumption. If the head unit is self selecting a time, and the minutes are in sync, then it must be getting its reference from somewhere. GPS/WWW, or from some third source such as perhaps the car itself? I can't recall from the brief times I drove it, but does it have mapping? If so, is the location accurate? Did you ever establish what make/model the unit is?

[V8Ian]

Yes it does have mapping, it places the car on the map, exactly where it is. It doesn't align with any Australian or New Zealand time zone.
If it's all the double ewes controlling the time, who's paying the data/connection bill?
No, I couldn't establish the brand of the head unit.
I'll try loanrangie's suggestion tomorrow, in the daylight.

[Tins]

It's a head scratcher.

[Tombie]

Assuming it’s android based

it's easy to check to see if your settings are correct.

1. Open up your Settings app.

2. Scroll down and tap on System.

3. Tap on Date & time.

4. Tap to toggle on/off the Use network-provided time setting.

There are GPS time references in the northern hemisphere which are 1 hr ahead of AEST...e.g ."Magadan" in the eastern provinces of Russia. check where the time/date settings are referenced. (I once had a "Mio" in-car GPS which I set to "Khabarovsk" time. It was the only way I could stop the device defaulting to Australian Daylight Savings Time![thumbsupbig]

[V8Ian]

I think Japan is an hour ahead of AEST, but can't see why it would be set for another country.

Actually.... Tokyo is 1 hr behind AEST ![bighmmm]

[Tins]

Slim pickings for that timezone... Port Vila or Honiara are possibilities..... so is Srednekolymsk.

[V8Ian]

Time fixed. With a bit of poking and prodding of the touch screen, I found it was set for the Solomon Islands. Changed it to Brisbane.
With a bit more poking and prodding, as I am wont to do, I jabbed the calibrate option, to see what that was all about. Presumably it's to calibrate the GPS, but I could find no way out. I switched the ignition off, then on, but then the radio worked but would not allow me to change anything on the screen, including the radio station. Hopefully this is only while it's still sorting itself out.

[Tins]

Well done.

as for turning it off and on, it no doubt has an ‘always live’ connection for the memory.

Live with it or travel to Norfolk Island et al.

On 2nd thoughts get a big stick &/or a Border Collie & separate the Ewes.


Why are the Ewes together, are they gay Ewes?


Not helping am I?[bigrolf]

[loanrangie]

Jinxed me, got in the disco and the time on the head unit was 1hr fast. No doubt it will fix itself by tomorrow.

[V8Ian]

All good now and telling the right time. :banana:

And the double Ewes?[bighmmm]

I suspect this problem was fooled by next years Daylight Saving getting ahead of itself & having a wild guess.
Yeah that'd be it.[bigrolf]

[V8Ian]

Sounds better than operator failure. [bigwhistle]

Of course, one couldn't admit to being a bit thick.[bighmmm]
