S80: General - Does the car adjust the clock by itself?

taz777 · Oct 29th, 2016, 21:01

The clocks are going back overnight so I was wondering if the car's clock will adjust itself?

cheshired5 · Oct 29th, 2016, 21:10

Let us know in the morning.

Certainly my 12MY car won't but the new ones do so much it wouldn't surprise me, my phone will but I'll have to remember to do the cars tomorrow

My s80 didnt this morning.

Yep, the clock updated this morning. I remember seeing some 'auto-time' option or something similar a while back in the settings menu so I must have selected that at some point.

I think it's a DAB radio function, mine changed overnight.

My 2012 XC70 doesn't.

It's supported by RDS so can work with an analogue signal... My xc70 needed manual adjustment but time is transmitted as part of the RDS system.. I do suspect however that it is zulu so the receiver would have to know when the clocks go forward and back and update according to that.

Not too hard a job, even my central heating timer is capable of adjusting for BST.
