Can't believe this was a $2,000 option back in the day. Can't believe I bought 2 of them.

Craig92117- I have the orange DVD. My husband's car is a 2003 MDX with an upgraded black DVD and his is fine.

I just called the Acura Line as others suggested and they said they have been getting a ton of calls. He said the most "elegant solution" would be for the clocks to fix themselves. He also said not to bring it in to an Acura Dealer for a fix, which I wouldn't have done anyway. I told him that posts from last year at the beginning of this thread show that the problem corrected itself a month after it happened. He wasn't aware of this thread and said that they are a call center and don't have time to review threads. Too bad. There's some useful information here that could help them zero (get it?!) in on the problem. I guess we will find out on 9/16/17 if this problem corrects itself.

Sorry if this has already been posted but didn't see it.

Early 2000 Acura/Honda models with GPS suddenly show time as 0:00, mine inluded (2002 CLS Types S). This suddenly happened in August. Call Acura customer service at (1-800-382-2238) to log your cars VIN# and they will call you, but here is what I have found:

Acura states that the Government update of GPS satellites has affected the data and time that connects to our Acura/Honda GPS units. Acura states that a solution has been found and they are systematically calling everyone who has registered their VIN#'s with them with a procedure.

This thread was copied from a similar thread posted in the 2G CL Forum since it also affects the 2G TL.

SuperGreg

The GPS sats were updated and Honda GPS units from 2000-2003 are the only devices affected?

Iggy

^^ I was thinking the same.

I hope the ICBMs in the silos know what time it is.

DJF

I read that Ford GPS systems also had this problem. Some thought it might be the feared Y2K issue but the person I spoke to at Acura mentioned it was the GPS satellite that our systems use. But yes, why only these earlier years affected and why aren't all early GPS users having the problem?

I called and the chick seemed to be very familiar with the problem. Hopefully they'll get it sorted out.

Thanks for the update. Last year the people with the harddrive 99 models Navi started working after a while so its possible as a previous member stated above that it may correct itself. Will just have to wait and see. As for them calling back, hopefully thats the case but I really doubt they will come through on a solution! But hopefully they prove me wrong!

Hi. Is there a date within 09/17 that our clocks should reset? We have a 2002 MDX Touring Navi.

Thanks.

Acura twitter account says it will self correct on Sunday 9/17 for 2002 and a few other model years. We will see.

OK, it's 9/17/17. Drum role please ...
I have an Acura 2001 TL Navi
Clock is partially restored - display is showing correct minutes, but hours are offset by -4 hours (or +8 hours depending how you want to look at it)
Entering clock setup, clock temporarily reverts back to 0:00. I am unable to change time zone, hours, or minutes in setup.
After exiting clock setup, within a minute clock reverts back to showing correct minutes and offset hours.

ingber

I see that "09/17" means 17 Sep, not Sep 2017 -- too short a "date" to make sense of that.

Well, today is 17 Sep 2017, and my 2002 MDX has not reset its clock. It still reads "0:00"?

vaguy

From my previous post,I should add that I'm on East Coast.
Clock setup is stuck on PacificTime Zone.
So accounting for lack of an auto DST change, its reporting a correct time for Pacific Standard Time.
I'm going to give it another day, then try disconnecting battery to see if that resolves the inability to execute any functions under clock setup

Just found out the clock is back on my 03 TL

My '01 MDX clock is back in action. All on its own.

luckyrandy2003

Just checked my 2002 MDX is still have the issue. The clock is still showing 0:00. Will check it again tomorrow.

vaguy

Update from my 2 posts of 9/17.
I removed battery for about 10 minutes.
Powering Nav system on, it went through 10 minute setup acquiring GPS.
This set TimeZone correctly to Eastern.
Clock is now behind by 1 hour - assume DST thing.
Entering clock setup, clock temporarily reverts back to 0:00. I am unable to change hours or minutes in setup.
After exiting clock setup, within a minute clock reverts back to showing correct minutes and EST hour (off by 1 hour).

Some cars may experience clock issues past the date advised. As a previous post stated its probably Sept 2017. Just give it time and Im sure it will slowly correct itself as it did on the harddrive units. Could try doing what the previous post did and see if that resolves the issue.

I called Acura today. The best # is 888-528-7876. It is the Acura In-Car Technical Support line.The clock in my 2003 TL with Navi went to 0:00 when i went to the car on 8/17/17 and has not corrected itself. The Tech Rep said they are aware of the problem, that it exists for some cars but not all even in the same year, make or model. They are working on it, but had no specific info on what the exact problem is. I am the original owner so he had all of my info including VIN and home address / telephone #. He opened up a Case File (I asked him for the Case File #). He said that at some point they would contact me when they have more info (hopefully on how to repair it). He did not know anything about the US Gov't updating any satellites as being the cause. Honestly, i tend to agree because i know i have to manually adjust the hour when i switch in and out of Daylight Savings Time. It seems to me that if the clock were controlled through my Navi and the GPS system, the clock would adjust itself since i have it set to Eastern Time. Personally, I wonder if it is just a software glitch in the Navi clock. I also don't know if people are having this problem ONLY with the Navi units or also in the radio clocks as well. I just thought i would share this info.This is kind of a bummer, but not the end of the world. My car is like new so it does bother me. But i certainly would not spend a lot of money to fix it ---- IF there really is a fix anyway.

Iggy

02 TL clock working on mine now.

rambleon

Iggy: do you have the NAVI unit..? Did you do anything..?? And your stopped working also last month..??

SuperGreg

Mine still doesn't work

Iggy

yup, navi clock. It stopped working when everyone else's did last month.

Left for a trip on friday and the car sat all weekend until I fired it up last night around 7pm eastern. Worked fine without touching it.

MassiveTL

I have a 2003 TL Types w/Navi. It's NOT working for me. I am one of the original people that updated the ticket last month.

sactobob

2000 RL, clock still shows 00:00.

Acurlover

I am one of the early posters whose clock went to 0:00 on 8/16/17. I have a 2003 TL type S and it's still showing 0:00. I will give it to the end of the month but I have a feeling that it should have started working yesterday as Acura mentioned. I didn't realize how much I missed my clock until not having it for a month.

bbsitum

^^^ Same here. Acura tl s 2003 and 0:00. I do not know why they didn't build car that allow ajust clock. Who need this sh.

08KBP_VA

Mine is behaving the same way. Tried same procedures you did with the same result.

Iggy

Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. Some 02 & 03's are working again and others..........not so much.

frankjnjr

2003 TLS W/ Navi, Eastern time zone. Still showing 00:00, and unable to adjust.

Anil John

I have a 2003 Acura TL. The navigation clock some how got reset to 0:00 on August 18th. I saw a post a week after that to wait for a month and the clock should be back to its normal time . Yesterday 09/18 afternoon surprisingly saw the clock back to its normal time . I am not sure what was the root cause. But, I came across so many blogs on an month on this.

2001 MDX with Navi, clock was back on once started the engine early morning 9/17
