Question Clock seems to be running slow

Just wondering if anyone has experienced this as well, and if so, is there a quick fix?

A couple weeks ago, I noticed the clock in my car was about 5 minutes slower than my watch. So I adjusted it to be the same as my watch. I drove it a couple times last week and I drove it today after its been parked for about 3-4 days. Today, after driving the car about 20 miles, I looked at the time, and noticed that it was 15 minutes slower than my watch.

The clock in the car is running slow. I figure there must be a battery that needs replacing. Anyone know where that battery is? or if there is no separate battery, anyone know why my clock is running slow?

Mine is slow and has been for as long as I've had the car.

But now that the pixels are disapearing, I really don't care anymore since I can't see it anyways

I realizes this is an old thread but my clock is running slow too. Is this something that can be adjusted?

I assume that you don't have navigation...navigation sets the clock time satellite time.

Correct, no nav.
