I told my co-worker about this and he was like: "Really!?" Minor thing I know, but it was clever nonetheless... I wonder how it works in places that don't have DST, like Indiana?

The clock is set by the GPS for the navigation system so it knows where your car is.

Yup. My TL doesn't adjust time, because I don't have a navi. =(

Your TL with Navi will seamlessly update its clock when Daylight saving takes place or when you drive through each different time zones.

How will you generate the necessary 1.21 gigawatts?

I had to have someone point it out to me...gotta say I was impressed. Yet another cool little detail that seems to spring up quite regularly.

Helloooooo, McFly?

As a frequent long-distance driver, I must say that is one of the most endearing features of the TL.

This was a good serious of laughs ...

I did enjoy the auto update. I had a half a thought to look for the hour & minute buttons and then I thought about it ....

It falls flat on its faceplate.

Arizona does not observe DST. Every time I cross the Colorado river eastbound on I-8, the clock changes right at the midpoint of the river. It's a really oversight on the part of the nav system's programmers.

I was pleasantly surprised too. It was my first time adjustment. The TL is so cool!
