This AM my TSX Navi didnt adjust for daylights savings. It is set to be in sync w/ the GPS satellite.

It didnt chage so I manually changed it. Did yours change?

hotrodtsx

Mine didn't adjust either, I mhad to do it manually.

mjp3475

Nope. Mine didn't change either. I am using the disc that came with my 06. I wonder if this is something that got patched in the new (07) disc?

ZAXDude

I have the updated 4.55 Navi DVD that shipped with the '07s in my '06, and mine didn't change either.

Jeff The Pianist

I am sure it will change next week on the day that was originally "planned" if it didn't change today.

Elephantman_nosefacehead

Acura should issue a firmware fix for this.

All the Navi can get from the GPS is Zulu time (even this time is offset from Zulu and then corrected). Algorithims in the navi do the conversion for DST, so it will be manual changes from now on

poltergeist

Dealers got a message a week or so ago that the Navi would not adjust to the new DST. Apparently Honda/Acura is working on a software upgrade, but did not release any details.

PWPTSX

nope it didn't, i had to change it myself lol.........thought that the GPS would recieve something

Nope, mine is still one hour behind.... I just have to wait for another week then! LOL

Master47

wait 3 weeks, BTW

Mokos23

Did it myself

Well, I see a number of you were able to manually update the clock on your NAV equipped cars. I can't find anything on how to do this in the user manual, so may I have instructions, please

excited

Push on setup, press on more, press on clock, press on no for matching up with the gps signal and press on the hour plus sign and then press on done.

Hope this helps.

I have mine set like so:

Match up with GPS : Yes
Auto Daylight Savings: No

... and then +1 hour.

DLTSX6MT

Stupid feds. Now, just about everything we own that automatically adjusted themselves to DST will be screwed up for ever and ever.

knthornt

But everyone will turn their lights on an hour later for 4 weeks That was the point of this change, but if you consider how much power a light bulb uses vs., say, a computer that, in most households is on all the time, i don't think there is going to be a huge dent made.

parag_a2z

The time on my TSX dint change either, but if its gonna change in April, i would prolly wait, and see it happen by itself...

Everyone, check this thread for the manual fix (04-05 and 06-07) if you are interested: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36626

swirlie

Maybe so, but that's offset by everyone turning their lights on an hour earlier for 3 (not 4) weeks come October/November when the delayed end of DST comes around.

This'll be even more fun next year, if the Energy Commission decides that those 'energy savings' don't actually exist after their study and if they and the Bush administration can overcome egos to revert the DST changes.

DeeCee

Mine didn't change either but it took all of 10 seconds to manually change it.

CoquiTSX

Probably not. I was at a party yesterday and there was a guy who owns a new Prius sitting at the table, his clock did not change either. Apparently car companies are not to concerned with the time change.

poltergeist

Jeez....as mentioned above, Honda is working on a fix...

Hysterical.

I can let Honda ride for the '04s, 05's and maybe the '06s but there is no excuse for the ''07s. The ruling making this change was made back in 2005. They had 2 years to get a patch ready.

I suppose this won't be a free patch either - I will have to get an updated NAVI disc to see the changes at $200.

Honda should have been "working on a fix" for this in 2005 to have it ready out the door for Jan '07.

Do you really think that an administration that is willing to send 20,000 more kids to get killed, rather than admit their mistake in Iraq, cares more about a trivial inconvenience to Acura owners?! Uh, well....come to think of it, they probably do. OK, never mind.

GeorgeTSX

Working on??? The daylight savings change was signed into law back in July 2005. This should have been fixed by now. I bought last years NAV update which did a firmware upgrade, I would have thought it would have been corrected at that time.

dmbfan36_23

I have a 2005 w/NAV and the time was wrong yesterday morning so I kicked the offset up an hour. However, when I got in my car at 7:30pm EST last night the date was an hour ahead so I had to roll back the offset... it appears the satellites were updated at some point during the day yesterday. I was sure this would require a software fix for the car, but I guess the satellites don't just send down the GMT time for the car to use to calculate the correct time, the sat. must send down the correct time for your timezone if this was fixed remotely....

poltergeist

Just reporting what I heard.....IMHO a very trivial thing to be worried about but I guess to each his own.

sygyzy

I love how Acura owners think that they'll get firmware patches/updates for this problem. It's not so bad here but on the RL board, everyone is so sure there is an update coming. When was the last time Acura has done any updating on your cars? Were there a bunch of service bulletins I completely missed? LOL.

tirebiter

Yeah, but look on the bright side. Now you change your electronics that know the old DST dates manually, then 3 weeks later, you do it again because they'll do it automatically. THEN, next fall, you'll get to go through both processes agian!

So now, instead of never adjusting the clocks, you'll do it 4 times.

Oh boy!

GeorgeTSX

Did you not read this?

http://www.in.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SN/A07030A.PDF

"We’re working on a software patch to correct for this new schedule,"

RGlesing

Yes, I read it. It would appear that Honda has thousands of the greatest technological minds, located at hundreds of "think tanks", all around the world, to figure out how to set a clock forward one hour!!

Master47

I read that as: "We're working on a software patch, that will be available as a part of the 2008 navi disk upgrade, available online for $185 in Oct. 2007."

GeorgeTSX

For what its worth...I just got back from my dealer (Lindsay Acura in Columbus, OH) and I asked him about the Daylight Savings issue and he seemed pretty certain that there is a fix coming.

miataforme

I had an aftermarket Garmin system before buying my 2006 TSX and it is much better than the Acura one for less than 1/3 of the cost. https://acurazine.com/forums/newrepl...te=1&p=679927# The data on the DVD is very bad, not having many places that have been in existance for many years and many roads. It does a poor job of projecting arrival times also. Acura needs a much better system before people catch on ow bad this one is

SoCaliTrojan

Interesting how this is your first post.

I don't know about you, but for my area, it works very well. Places here are static, so there haven't been much changes (at least in the type of areas I visit. As for arrival times, it's pretty much dead on for me. You do know that it stops the timer when you stop moving (IE: traffic light)? The car can't tell which intersections have lights and how long they'll be red.

I haven't seen an aftermarket navi come close to my TSX's navi. In fact, I've even turned them off and just imagined I was in my TSX lol

miataforme

I don't know what system you turned off, but I have sat down in the dealership and had the sales people embarassed with the Acura Navi's poor data base. Your post shows you working for a dealer so I understand you don't want to lose this sale on this high mark up item but it is a read dud and you won't do your customers any favors selling it to them. When I say it is doing a poor projection of arrival times,I am on an open highway with 55 MPH-65 speed limits and it acts as if I am going to drive 40 Mph to my destinaition. There is not a single traffic light in the hour and a half trip so telling me it's going to be well over two hours is a joke. My Garmon is within minutes, not the hour off that the acura unit is. I had i=one salesman tell me they just didn't know how bad it was utill he saw my garmin which cost $700 not the $2000 acura gets.

Elephantman_nosefacehead

Actually the Acura system has some good features the Garmin systems lack like being able to search locations by phone number and setting multiple destinations to minimize driving time, also the screen size is about 4x the Nuvi 350. I do not often have a problem finding locations 99% of the time even though I have a 2004.
