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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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)

check your unit now, mine just updated like 30 mins ago

Mine fixed itself today.

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.

Yep mine too... I changed it to Auto by accident while I was messing around and it autocorrected right.

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...

It changed for me!

Wow. How many threads does it take to discuss the DST issue?

if you dont want to read about a "time not correct" issue, dont click on the thread

Mine corrected itself last weekend sometime.

clearly we have underestimated the need for everyone to start a new thread of their own on DST as opposed to searching and reading the existing ones :wink:

clearly there a lot of people on here that like to offer opinions that have nothing to do with the thread. if you dont have any information on the subject dont click on the thread.
