GR4YBU5H Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 is there some sort of mod that made my time not accurate? the mods that i have done are: linear comapass stop nav no more scale on navi box in left corner not there unless route is active and of course the software parking break hack i go into the time settings and it says that i am in the CMT (centeral time zone), and it will always say that it is an hour behind. When i manually change the time, it is fine until i turn the car off and on, and then it goes back to being an hour slow. btw, thats to everyone who has has figured out how to modify this unit, the navi screen in kind of ugly withought it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frum Roll Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 It's a DST issue, for the moment the easiest way to fix it is set it to manual and change your time zone from central to eastern. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GR4YBU5H Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 first what is DST? standard time from the satellites? or am i on the wrong page and what can this be fixed?, is it a normal problem b/c of the time change? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobelsteve Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 2 threads in the troubleshooting forum. Everyone has this problem. Pioneer may be working on it, but so is Boris. See the posts in the other forum. I bet somebody here fixes it before Pioneer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dianebrat Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 DST Daylight Saving Time, Wikipedia will help, it's that thing in the spring and fall that has you changing your clocks... This discussion will help viewtopic.php?f=33&t=22547 The US changed their dates for this in 2005 effective in 2007, the rest of the world, did not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Way off. LOL Daylight Savings Time. Set the clocks an hour ahead in the spring and an hour back in the fall. Standard Time for the GPS satellites is Greenwhich Mean Time (GMT) aka Zulu Time aka Universal Time. Your time zone then dictates how many hours ahead or behind from GMT your current location (i.e. Time Zone) is. As steve said, people are looking into how to fix this. This is a software issue. The change in dates for DST weren't taken into account when Pioneer made their deck (like most people just have a box to uncheck or check when it is DST) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GR4YBU5H Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Thanks for the info. I dont know why DST didnt click as Daylight Savings Time, wow.

ill.die.trying Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 check your unit now, mine just updated like 30 mins ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobelsteve Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Mine fixed itself today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cranbers Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I was using a different time zone, and I found it wasn't correct. It would seem the gps sat's weren't updated to reflect the new change in dst date. Wow imagine that, an issue pioneer and the software makers for the unit weren't responsible for. Gotta love it. Set it back to automatic, all is good once again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
secgeek Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Mine fixed itself today. Yep mine too... I changed it to Auto by accident while I was messing around and it autocorrected right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Set it back to automatic, all is good once again. Actually, they were. Satellites send only UTC time (Greenwich, basically) with no daylight adjustments. It is up to the client device to apply it properly... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ipxnsv Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 It changed for me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
