We’d booked lunch for Mother’s Day for 12, not thinking about the clocks changing. No one was hungry. It was terrible.

Surely it changes itself? I don't think I've been in a car made since about 2004 which didn't just pick up the codes from the radio broadcast or wherever.

Only things I changed manually this year were one clock in my study, the oven (which is always wrong anyway, but I try) and four quartz watches.
I've never owned a car that automatically updates the clock. Most interfaces are quick and easy but Audi's previous gen is shocking poor.

Perhaps you are used to the interface but for someone who don't use it everyday, it's confusing as fuck.

Your M235i should do it automatically.

The X5 has a selectable auto-update on the date/time; it was deselected for some reason.

The M135i has the same. It was on auto update and time would not change. I changed it manually then put it back on auto update but it reset itself back an hour. Therefore I just change it manually every year now.
Your opinion is very important for me. Thank you please.

Thanks for the nudge :lol:

That’s the first time that I genuinely had no idea. Woke up and the oven clock was wrong. Thought WTF?

I’ll never miss it because it’s the day I probably look forward to most all year.

Usually means I can start working on cars without having to wear a wooly hat and torch.

However, today it is pissing it down.

Literally only realised just now when I saw this thread. I did think it strange that I slept in later than usual but just put it down to being tired and sleeping well.
