clock question

So I am a new S550 owner and am wondering if there is a clock display option available? I like the clock in the dash but was curious if there is a display for the command too?

Thanks in advance. Oh, I have the 2011 MY

Clock related. Can the minutes be adjusted? I know the hrs. can via Command for Daylight Savings change etc. I feel the minutes are a couple behind what the time is. I find I can only make full 1/2 hr. changes. Can the minute hand be adjusted forward and back by the minute? Thanks.

The minutes are extremely accurate. They are set via GPS satellite information which is an extremely accurate time reference which is essential for the GPS system to work. If GPS time is inaccurate, GPS would not be able to properly determine the current location of your vehicle. What is your basis for believing the minutes are behind the actual time?

Thanks for the good point. The time on my Android phone, as well as a tablet when in the vehicle, show a variance of two minutes digitally from what the analog minute hand shows. I get the GPS angle, but I also feel the phone and tablet are spot-on. I ask in good faith, which device(s) should be trusted as gospel? Also, is there another way to garner the exact correct minutes? I suspect I'm coming across as pretty picky, ergo minutes precision, but I really like to have correct data visually. All advice appreciated. Thanks.
