iDrive date/time not setting correctly
I disconnected my battery yesterday, like I've done many times, but upon reconnecting it and going back and re-checking 'Automatically adjust time/date' it will not set iDrive to the correct time. It consistently sets itself to UTC -6 when it should be UTC -5 for my zone. In the past it has always reset itself correctly.. any ideas?

Mine has NEVER worked.
Have made it 200 km into a new time zone. No Change. Stayed there for 3 days. No Change. Manually changed it. Went home. No change. Use the 3G to display current weather and that all works fine. Useless. As far as I can tell it never polls for a new time( doesn't even use navigation directions as a hint ) Do you live near a zone change? |

I live about an hour or so from the zone change but what worries me is that I have -never- had this problem manifest itself.
You can force it to 'poll' for time by unchecking the auto update box, escaping from the menu, then coming back in and re-checking the auto update box. I've confirmed that.

Maybe go to dealer might be worth a settings flash (worst case you just get updated firmware for your car) |
