Understand... if the op wants an answer to his question he either needs to tell us if he has Navi or not or he can simply open his owners manual and look in the table of contents and he should be able to find his answer.

Does anyone know of a way to change the clock on a TL with NAVI? I have a very time sensitive job and its becoming confusing at times to make the mental adjustment.
Thank you,

Only thing I can glean is something about option #4...
I read the owners manual and there's basically nothing you can do but wait for the NAVI to catch up - or do you know more?

You are correct. The Owners manual states that models with navigation will update the clock automatically.
You will have to look at the Navigation manual. In there you will find this:
BTW, the manuals are available online here: https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/...01_OMANUAL.ASP
You will have to look at the Navigation manual. In there you will find this:
Set-up Screen 4
Say or select Set-up Screen 4 and the following screen appears:
Time Zone/Clock
Allows you to set Daylight Savings, Auto Time Zone, and Time Adjustment. The factory setting is On.
Auto Daylight Savings Time
Sets automatic daylight savings time On or Off. If you reside in a state where daylight savings time is not used, then you may want to turn this feature off.
NOTE: If you set Auto Daylight Savings Time to On, the Daylight Savings Time function is activated even in an area that does not adopt the Daylight Savings Time system.
Auto Time Zone by GPS
Sets automatic time zone selection by GPS On or Off. If you are driving across the country and passing through time zones, this feature will automatically set the time to the time zone you are traveling through. However, if you live and work in two different time zones, you may want to turn this feature off.
NOTE: If you set Auto Time Zone by GPS to On, correct operation may not be obtained in some areas near a time zone boundary.
Time Adjustment
Adjusts the current time in hours and minutes. You can reset the adjustment by selecting Reset. Selecting Return lets you return to the Set-up screen.
NOTE: Even though the time is shown in the upper display as a 12-hour clock, you need to adjust it as a 24-hour clock. For example, if you want to set the time in the upper display to 7:00 p.m., you need to adjust the time to 19:00. Remember to add 12 for any time from 1:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.

Sorry if I sound snippy, but I don't see why this is apparently so damn hard for people to understand:
(a) The manual does say the clock will adjust automatically. For 2004 and 2005 TLs, however, the manual was written and printed before Congress changed the dates for Daylight Saving Time, so the issue is not addressed because it was an unexpected change in the law. The clock will still adjust itself, but it will do so on the wrong dates per the 1986 version of the DST schedule. (I bet many of you don't remember that DST used to start on the LAST Sunday of April prior to 1986.)
(b) I don't know what the manual for the 2006 or 2007 TL says, but I assume it's the same because we know Acura and Alpine did not create a software patch to change the dates.
(c) You can change your clock manually by going to the "Setup" screen, selecting screen 4, and selecting the option to adjust the clock. You will need to set the "Auto Daylight Saving Time" option to "Off." Then use the + and - buttons to adjust the hour to the correct time.
(d) On the first Sunday of November (this year, November 4), you will need to go into Setup screen 4 again to set your clock back one hour because Congress extended the end of Daylight Saving Time by one week.
(e) If you adjust your clock but do not turn off the Auto DST option, your clock will advance by one hour on the first Sunday of April (this year, April 1) and your clock will be an hour fast because you already adjusted it. The computer doesn't know that the DST dates changed.
(f) If you're too lazy to change it yourself, or if these very simple steps are too confusing, then you can ignore it and your clock will advance by one hour on April 1. You will need to be cautious in the meantime, however, to be certain that you remember that your car's clock is one hour slow in case you rely on it when you are going somewhere. Likewise, in the fall your clock would drop back on October 28, a week early.
All of this is, of course, for Navi-equipped TLs only. I have no idea how to set the clock in a non-Navi TL.
(BTW, to nit-pick, there is no such thing as "Daylight Savings Time." It's "Daylight Saving Time.")

Non-Navi TL have an H and M button and have no automatic time adjustment feature.
On Models without Navigation
The clock displays the time with the ignition switch in the ON (II) position. If your vehicle’s battery is disconnected or goes dead, you will need to reset the clock.
Change the hour by pressing and holding the H button until the numbers advance to the desired time. Change the minutes by pressing and holding the M button until the numbers advance to the desired time.
You can quickly set the time to the nearest hour. If the displayed time is before the half hour, press the R button to set the clock back to the previous hour. If the displayed time is after the half hour, the clock sets forward to the beginning of the next hour.
For example: 1:06 will reset to 1:00
1:52 will reset to 2:00

Hate to revive an old thread but this has been driving me crazy. I dont have an issue with DST, but more so with my top dash time being wrong all together. I have an 05 TL w/nav and Ive tried this option however in the setup screen it shows the correct time but STILL does not change the clock in the small top dash screen. Any one know what the heck could be the problem? Any work arounds or maybe I have a faulty carputer?! Thanks for the quick responses!
