Question Daylight Savings Time

I would think a Sirus system would be smart enough to have a Daylight Savings option, but I can't find it. Clock did not update last night either.

Drove mine around this morning and did not update. Had to go into settings and do it manually. Asked me if I wanted to sync it up to my GPS time, but it also stated that even doing this would not convert to Daylight Savings Time.

Our ol' 2009 F450 wouldn't update for Daylight Saving Time. Figured Synch 3 wouldn't update, either. Made the change late yesterday evening when I changed the microwave, and wall clock. At least Synch 3 was easy to change. David

I just looked at mine and it said that the GPS would not change to Day Light Saving Time. I didn't get time to drive it around so I changed it.

I would imagine since some areas of the country where Ford sells products do not participate in Daylight Savings Time it would be easier for them not to have it auto-adjust and eliminate the need to develop software for where it does and does not need to set clocks.

mine didn't change but it took less than 30 seconds to do it myself. Oh, and I'm a dummy when it comes to this stuff.

Mine didn't update either. Then wife set it to GPS and it did.. I would think it would be correct on GPS any where you travel, unless you are right in the change line (i.e. State line etc).. We were coming from EDT to CDT. Other wise how would your phone update. It doesn't have a DST switch...

So, I was out snow blowing and drove the truck and had to manually update. Easy, settings, clock, adjust hour forward one.

Your cell does not update by the GPS. I updates by the carrier. So when you go from on time zone to another it gets its update from the switch it's on of the carrier.

If you let your settings stay on "DST" and wait till the 1st Sunday in April it may change.

DST use to be 1st Sunday in April till the last Sunday in October
DST now id 2nd Sunday in March till the 1st Sunday in November

Mine has no such DST setting. You just bump the hour forward a notch.

Mine is not a 2017.
But my setting is under the clock adjustment.

I have found the same DST issue with 'auto' settings with several GPS devices I have.

I changed mine manually but noticed after 1 week the Sirius Weather Map time still show an hour off.

However the Sync system time is correct as I manually changed it.
