.......... try a listen to Radio 1 for a few minutes.

Is DLT still a DJ on Radio 1?  ::) ::) ::)

I think I'd prefer the clock to be wrong, TBH. ;)

Remember that if the unit is using the RDS system that not all station transmit time info, try a listen to Radio 1 for a few minutes.
I'm with KW on this.  I could only stomach it for about 20 mins, and no clock appeared.

Is it RDS or GPS that provides the time sync.  Given that the sat nav diagnostics shows 00/00 for the the number of satellites, this could explain it.  Looks like the aerial is goosed.

Think your find it can receive time from either but only when RDS is turned on and obviously from Sat Nav which you say isn't working

Many say RDS, but I reckon satnav on these units, hence why I asked about gps ;)

Well a reset didn't do anything, but entering the diagnostic mode showed the 00/00 for satellites so time to take the car apart and find out if it's the aerial/cable/connection to the cage/hu...
Well it's not the connections that are the issue, so I'll post a Wanted ad to see if anyone has an aerial going spare.

As an aside the clock symbol made a comeback this morning, but disappeared again on the way home.  Clearly all this rain has the sat nav confused as this is where it thinks I am:

Maybe, have looked up doing a reset and I think this was holding just one button down for a while.  I tried this and it turned itself off and made no difference  :(.

Isn't the clock symbol to do with ruote guidance in the nav? Ie set motorway only and the click changes to a motorway bridge. Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

The 'clock' icon confused me too, I spent a while trying to find the stop watch function on the trip computer! It is, as you say, to do with route types and signifies quickest route selected.

It also mentions in the manual about pressing and holding the clock button above the display for a few seconds, do this while the stereo is on, gives options for automatic time and date setting via either RDS or GPS....

Thanks for the tip, I tried this but all it does is bring me to the page for automatic time correction with no option to say whether I want to use GPS or RDS.  Not an option on the NCDC 2015 I guess  :(.

Yeah, I tried it too and got the same result on my NCDC2013!
Either I misread the manual or Vx. have given the wrong information.
