Car clock keeps changing

Just_Passing_Bi

I have a Vectra 1.8, 07 plate.

For some reason, over the last couple of weeks, I have to set the clock to real time, for some reason, couple of minutes later, clock reverts back an hour, 15:00 goes back to 14:00.

Any idea how I can resolve this nagging issue?

windup

set it an hour ahead

gmt/bst?

Most likely, the clock is set to auto-update from the radio, and as windup says, there is a setting somewhere for GMT /BST that is confusing it, as the RDS signal probably already accounts for it.

My Nissan auto-updates, but I have to set the GMT/BST manually.

Is the date correct?

Does it change in the same place as you drive it?

I had this once some years ago with another car. One local radio station I used to listen to had set the wrong time on their RDS.

Yes, this started when I tried changing the radio station.

Then change the station back, as WellKnownSid is saying, the RDS time must be wrong.

You will have to read the handbook, the RDS time comes from either the station you last listened to, the one you are actually listening to, the one tuned in on button 1, or something it choses (maybe the most local BBC station?). If you have the traffic news thingie active, the wireless interrupts the CD, so it is always receiving RDS codes.

Otherwise disable the autosetting from the radio- it will be in the manual somewhere

Try switching to FM radio.
