Rocoo Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Hi My Clock was first resetting to 01:00 every time I restarted my car after been turned off for the night or even 4 hours or more. Buy it suddenly went back to the correct time for about one week . Now the time is behind by 26 mins but in the settings it won’t let you adjust the time up but will let you decrease the time . Example : Clock saying 2:00 but correct time is 2:26 i have the option to leave it in the garage as it’s new but I don’t have the time at present Think it’s something I can sort myself , with a bit of advice Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizer Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 You could try resetting the Sync system by doing the following. I don't know if it will help or not. It is also worth checking for Sync updates on the Ford website, https://www.ford.co.uk/owner/resources-and-support/sync-bluetooth/update#/ I don't know if it covers Ireland as well. Resetting the System Simultaneously press and hold the seek up and the audio unit power buttons until the screen goes black. Wait three minutes to allow the system to complete the reset. Press the audio unit power button to switch the system on. Note: You can reset the system to restore functionality that has stopped working. The system reset is designed to restore functionality and not delete any data that you have stored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocoo Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 Thanks but no luck software is up today as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPRand Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Hi. Same thing happening to my Ford Focus. I have to turn car off open door then close door and turn car back on then it’s ok. Sometimes the time is ok for a week then starts playing up. Did you find a cure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poremba Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 My focus shows the correct time (sometime) only when driving in the open. Once the car goes underground the display shows 3:00. It is like the clock has to get gps reception to show time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Lad at work has bought a brand new focus and it's doing the same . When he gets round to looking at it , I will post up the fix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaSingh Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Can you not turn sync time with GPS off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I suggested it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

south_bound Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Should the time change automatically with the clocks going back last night or has it got to be done manially? Just that mine stayed on summer time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that mine stayed on summer time. Should change automatically, either getting it's sync from an old fashioned FM RDS signal, a more modern DAB signal, or a fragile GPS signal - days of working out how to change the time on a modern vehicle should be in the past... (My 15 year old girl does it via FM!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_bound Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 All my previous cars were done manually, usually I would get around to it a few weeks after the clocks changed in each direction. Seems like a step backwards if you can't do it manually any more and the automatic bit doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all have a manual adjustment too if for some reason the automatic setting doesn't suit you. ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poremba Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 my dealer said ford is working on software update to solve the problem. so far not to be seen. very frustrating to not be able to connect android auto. when the time showing in sync is not matching the time on the phone it does not connect. must take the car outside. wait for a few minutes for the time to set and only than connect the phone.

Comares2001 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Thats all right then. It'll probably get sorted in a year or two 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit, the clock in the Golf is probably the easiest car clock I've ever had. Don't even need the ignition on. Just press the clock button on the left of the clocks, then adjust with the button on the right. It's so easy I doubt myself every time!

mjt Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Don't need the ignition on with our Mk2.5 either. Do need to switch the radio on, though. Then it's pretty easy, hit clock button, use arrow buttons to select digit and volume wheel to set time then clock again to exit.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as Mk2, though TBH, it automatically changed the time on tuning an FM station and using the RDS signal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_bound Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Ha, I've only had the Mk2 12 years and didn't know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
