I noticed that in our cars, Navi at least, the clock automatically changes for day light savings. I assume it's due to programming of set days in the calendar for the car. What would happen in 2007 when day light savings gets pushed back for a month?

The Navi equipped TLs will set automatically with the GPS. It is essentially an atomic clock.

 

Yep, it actually synchronizes with the satellites every time you start the car.

 

That explains that Sputnik looking thing following me around!

 

Gotta love that feature.

 

I didn't know it sync'd up with the GPS, so if you drive it to another time zone it automatically changes. That is a really great feature.

 

Yepper. If you are really clever, you can drive across a Time Zone to celebrate New Years twice!

 

 

so I guess the new 5 series BMW has a 2 way system on their GPS? that's how the car in the commercial calls the service dept?

i'd rather have a 2 way system, not for calling acura but for other things.

 

Unless I'm mistaken (and I may be), it is just dialing a call on your cell phone via bluetooth.
