05 SS- Clock Moved Forward An Hour Overnight?
Drove my car this morning and realized that my clock had jumped forward an hour (showed 12:26 when it was really 11:26). Any ideas how this could of happened, my car does not have COMAND. The car's date is set correctly as well, so it does not think that it is daylight savings time.
Any thoughts will be appreciated, my car will be going into service this week, so if I can throw out any ideas, it would be great.
Thanks

I had the same problem today!!! I thought I was an hour late! It kinda drove me crazy wondering which time was off, if daylight savings time was over...

I was driving today and saw that it was an hour advance... So I totally thought it was daylight saving already! I already set some clocks at home. I was telling my friends the same too. I guess I'm just a week premature.

"Daylight saving changes the last weekend of March in Europe and first weekend of April in U.S. Maybe the German engineers overlooked this..."

The dealers have been alerted to this intentional feature. This will allow dealers to sell a 3 year subscription to reset your clock on the correct day, as determined by the cars location on TeleAid. Its only $800.00, and requires you to plug a dongle into the the STAR Diagnostic connector to flash the CANBUS with the current years DSTD (daylight savings time data.)

you're aware that you can disable the feature to automatically adjust to daylight savings time via the MFD and steering wheel buttons - go to the settings menu > time & date. But then you'll have to manually catch up when we change here in the US. My dealer mistakenly told me it adjusted automatically via GPS but that may be the case only with COMAND. The satellite radio antenna is present on my car but i don't have COMAND or satellite radio nor TelAid. It's just a hard-coded calendar function, like in a watch. But it's coded with respect to the car being built in Germany. No one thought of modifying the overseas exports...those rocket scientists in Sindelfingen. Sauschwabe!
