Title: Clock resetting itself
Post by: chrisl_1960 on 07 April 2009, 20:08:38

just recently, every so often when I start the car, the clock has advanced one hour, anyone any ideas why this could be????

Don't know if this is also for UK versions but maybe you automatic time correction is on or try another radio channel without rds or switch of rds.

greetings

Model number of radio would help -

Some are updated by Radio transmission, some are updated by GPS

Does it keep incrementing by +1 hour ?  ie: its now a good few hours out,  or simply not changing from GMT to BST  ?

just changes GMT to BST

Sounds like you may have a rougue rds transmitter nearby that has not been reset for BST ?  

Try with RDS / TP / TA / REG all set to OFF  and see what happens.

Looking at the manual for my CCRT700 it says that by pressing AS (Auto Store)  till it beeps, aswell as storing the best 10 stations, will aslo automatically select RDS.
Did you have an RDS station selected before hand?

Not sure Andy, as it's only been doing i since last Sunday, I might be something I did when cleaning it.

other than this, no problems

the clock has continued to reset itself +1 hour, no matter what I pressed, I realised an obvious and easy fix today, just set the clock an hour slow, then it auomatically catches up......simples  :y :y

so far so good
