Reset clock today

[jonjon72]

Hahaha, it took me 20 seconds to reset the clock in my obsolete Genesis.

You can reset the clock manually yourself in the 2015's in the same amount of time. Really not a big issue unless you want to make it out to be one.

Mine remained an hour ahead and did not automatically adjust to the correct time until I unchecked the DST box.

To chime in, same here: had to UNtick box. Soon as I did that, no more adjusting needed; it reset clocks on its own. But it did take UNticking to reset. Something ain't right here!

Still beats my old Honda where you had to reset the clock manually.

I had same experience check the dust box to correct. What's the point of checking GPS time box is it doesn't adjust for dst also.

When DST is in effect, check the DST box. When DST is not in effect, uncheck the DST box. DST change is not automatic.

I think they did it this way because DST dates have been a moving target lately. Arizona has never used DST. North Korea time is now offset 30 minutes from South Korea time, just because. Saskatchewan has decided to remain on DST all the time. Newfoundland has gone to a 30 minute offset too. You can understand why the programmers threw in the towel.

You're right - it only takes seconds to adjust this twice a year - is that really a problem? Some folks just like to complain, it seems...

The only logical explanation why manual DST changeover is required - that I can see - is the international factor. I.e., the cars are shipped all over the world, including places where the changeover date is different from U.S., as you suggested.

I have two so-called "atomic clocks" which get their time correction feed from a land based transmitter in Colorado. I set both of them at DST - same as the Genesis. And, in the spring and fall, they do the time change toggle quite nicely - and all by themselves.

My guess is the reason they didn't make this automatic, is that they (government or whomever runs this stuff) have changed the dates recently as to when we adjust our clocks forward and back.

That is one reason - the U.S. dates change periodically and don't conform to dates of other countries, in any case.

My "atomic" clocks are made to U.S. standards and get their "feed" from a U.S. based source in Ft. Collins, Colo. So, they toggle automatically.

I think that is right. DST cutover date varies by country, and it wasn't long ago that the US changed the cutover dates, so it could change again. PC's know when to cutover, because they receive software updates via the internet, but obviously the Genesis is not connected to the internet.

1. Genesis is connected to internet (or some other data wireless network). That's how you get app updates, traffic and weather info, and bunch of other stuff. It's powered by Sprint cellular network in connection with Sirius, afaik.

2. GPS time zones supposed to be up to date. When there are new DST dates introduced anywhere in the world, I believe GPS should include these changes right away.

I think the time in Genny should change by itself. It's not about 20 secs it takes you to change DST setting (when you know what to do). Does it take long to fold the mirror? Why do you expect it to be automatic?

It is just silly when such an advanced "intelligent" vehicle that seems to be connected to everything fails to update a local time.

P.S. I'm not surprised at all. A so called "Connected care" that you supposed to pay for $99 per year after the initial trial, failed to notify me about required oil change! It was 8500 miles on the car without a single oil change, and my monthly report showed that everything was "ok".
The technology is there. Software implementation and overall car systems logic is questionable to say the least...

The Genesis does have a maintenance reminder you can set to make sure you don't overshoot your next maintenance. You can set it to any mileage interval you want.

The key word is "local".

The time feed comes from the GPS "constellation" of satellites which are not local at all. And the Genesis is not a local car - it is shipped all over the world.

As I noted above, my home "atomic" clocks conform to U.S. (local) standards and the time feed is domestic - Ft. Collins, Colo. So they change over quite nicely to and from DST - and automatically.

GPS Time did not work for me either. You would think it should have dialed back an hour, but no biggie. The Simple toggle of No DST worked in a flash.

Then why does my $99 Garmin stand-alone GPS system never need the time set? It uses the same constellation of satellites. In fact, I've seen my stand-alone unit change the hour within 100-ft of driving across a time zone. The key is, it combines the time it gets form the satellite, with its knowledge of where it is positioned, to determine the correct time. I agree, no big deal to check/uncheck the DST box on the Genesis, but it would also have been no big deal to tie the clock in to the GPS system, utilizing position to determine time zone. It's an oversight, IMO.

The Genesis clock is tied into the GPS system (at least, if you check the GPS box on the AVN screen). Also, your Garmin is tied into GPS.

So, no problem as far as standard time is concerned. Your car works fine, your Garmin works fine. On standard time.

The problem comes with DST - that is a local thing by state and country - some countries even split DST by the half-hour. GPS won't help you - that's a global service.

Hyundai did not commit an oversight.

Not to get too ridiculous, but suppose Mt. Everest in the Himalayas changed to DST by 2 hours to accommodate explorers. Would the satellites send 2 hour changeover DST data to that particular area to change their clocks in the spring and fall.

No way.

Given all of the wonderful features in the Genesis, this is incredibly trivial and not worth mentioning.

You are correct HOWEVER it would be nice to have it automatic. I agree, sats are not local BUT gps location is. Tie the 2 together and you have automatic updates. If the clock knows where the car is, then it should be able to adjust the time accordingly.

Heck, even a relatively cheap wrist watch can do it all. http://www.casio-intl.com/asia-mea/en/news/2014/GPW-1000/

 

[xsolara]

THAT DID IT..... I'm selling my Genny...... No auto clock change
Anyone know what car has this feature :=)

 

[Huddleston]

if you wait long enough it will correct itself

 

[xsolara]

if you wait long enough it will correct itself

Your correct..... for several months it will be the right time

I guess I'll keep my genny
