Loving my RCZ .. but.....

[Burne]

Hi all recently bought an RCZ and have to say being a long time BMW driver I wasn't sure I would like it, but LOVE the way it drives and feels. And it looks stunning.
I do have one issue that is driving me crazy and I'm hoping someone can offer advice.
The clock in the centre of the dashboard won't sync with the sat Nav clock. I've tried everything. I've taking it to my local dealer who ran a diagnostic and said everything was fine.
I took it to an auto electrician specialist who said he can't find an issue either. But again ran a diagnostic and reported everything fine.
The clock works but just won't tell the right time. (On a side note both my day running bulbs have blown withing 2 weeks of replacement)
Help me forum you're my only hope
Thanks for reading

My Clock is 1 or sometimes 2 minutes out from the GPS timeframe I reset it twice then gave up

Hi im not sure. How do I find out ?

Have a look here…

After 6 months lurking - finally got one

Finally managed to track down a decent example which was close to the spec I wanted Had it a week and generally very pleased with it, and had a couple of nice surprises such as discovering the car has xenons (which I believe means they are directional) and a low tyre pressure warning so I must...

Reset the date & time & set the clock to 24 hrs mine kept setting the 12hr timescale until I reentered day date & time then it reset itself

Thank you. I tried that. And the auto electrician tried resetting everything. Apparently the clock went to 12 but would sync with the sat Nav once he reset that

Maybe a BSI reset or try disconnect the Battery it may be a software glitch ?

One I test drove this morning had the analogue clock about 12 minutes fast. I presume that, for cars without sat nav, it's easier to reset?

Maybe I have the RT6 so its almost straight forward sometimes!

The dealership ran new software onto it to try from the problem.
I would just get a new clock but they want £500

FFS £500 for a clock! Try the breakers although I would be suspicious its a software problem or even a battery BSI related issue

If not wait till it's 12 o'clock and sorted just a suggestion to a quick fix...

If you want to try a BSI reset,

Here is the BSI reset procedure:-

BSI reset....

Put the drivers window down, lift the bonnet & ensure all equipment is switched off.
Ensure all doors are closed and remove key from ignition,
Wait 3 minutes, disconnect vehicle battery & wait 15 seconds.
Reconnect battery, wait further 10 seconds (do not open doors)
Switch on the side lights through the drivers window.
Switch on the ignition & check systems functionality.
Hold lock button on key down for 10 seconds.
Remove key open & close door, test central locking system.
Start the engine & complete the system check.
Failure to follow this procedure could result in incorrect operation of many BSI related items.

Let us know if this helps.
