Noticed today that I did not need to change the time on the clock, it must have done it itself, well impressed.... ::) ::) ::)
-
It ought to, it's RDS
-
Yeah ... i just tuned to radio 2 and it does it itself . :y
-
Nah ..it's been an hour out all year ... you just haven't noticed ::)

Like Miss Vamps bedroom wall clock....... :-[ :-[ :-[ it's right now though... :y
-
Fuctifino then. Last time the Beastie changed herself but this time nothing. I'll see if she's sorted herself out in the morning. If not i'll have to do her manually which she won't like as she's OOF's first lesbian Mig & i support her fully....
I dare'nt do otherwise!!! 8-)

You just need a really good FM reception for RDS to work, and the clock will update itself. When you receive an RDS signal, the clock is constantly updating itself. :y

Prefacelift ones are manual only. Minifacelift and facelift ones will update time from RDS station transmitting time, except NCDC which get it from GPS Satellites.

Like my watch ... stopped 20 years ago -- but it's spot on twice a day (which is better than when it worked!)

Who says that DAB is better, had to do mine myself :( nothing new really :-X

Didn't realise they had such futuristic equipment up North ;D
-
Mine was a 1999 pre-facelift and that changed by itself . . .
Not that it matters now.. ;D

Well my 07 Citroen need manual assistance.... ::) ::) ::)

I still haven't figured out how to change the flaming clock in my tin can .... been panicking all day thinking I was late for everything (goldfish memory).
-
My Astra shed managed to update the time on its own too.

Put Radio 2 on for the run to work, that should cure it.
Otherwise the RDS time function may be switched off.

It used to work on it's own John. I'll try radio 2 in the morning now that irritating Sara Kennedy has finally breaked off!!! >:(

Sad I know, but not listened to Radio 2 since Terry left...Can't stand the Ginger red headed chap.... ::) ::) ::)

As said, make sure the RDS is switched on. Easy-to-miss button on the stereo.
Oh, and pre-facelifts DO have RDS. Or certainly '98> models do ;)

Need to re look at our estate then...... :)

Was a welcome surprise yesterday morning, first car that I haven't had to change the time myself.

Mini Facelifts do have the facility. Its basically down to the installed MID. The early (pixel prone) ones do not have the facility.
Said facility needs to be turned on in the MID. Please read the manual if you need to know how, as I can't remember the exact sequence of button presses ;D
-
Dare I admit to listening to Magic FM? A surefire way to NOT get a time update - have to switch to BBC at least to get that.
Pleased to hear that Ms Kennedy has gone. Couldn't stand her female logic or her poor use of the English language.

Are you 100% on this as the time on mine sat there for over 15 mins without changing despite having reasonable satellite coverage whilst I was driving. I then tuned into Radio 1 for less than a minute and it finally changed :-/.

It's more than Mrs AA's radio contolled alarm clock has, still showing summer time.

I am pretty certain that my 1994 Omega used to auto update the time. It definitely had the pixel prone MID (it worked ok in wet weather but about 1/4 of the pixels packed up in dry weather).
The auto update was something that could be enabled or disabled but I can't remember if it was set in the MID or the head unit (or both) :-/

Good news. Mrs AA's radio alarm clock updated itself yesterday :y

Nope, function only on later style MIDs (and CCRT Displays)
