Time zone didn't update

jeffslugs · 10-27-2020, 08:54 PM

OK, so I usually don't drive that far, but the family and I took a trip from Central Time Zone to Mountain Time Zone. I have the 2021 X7 set to auto adjust the time (the box its checked). However, the car never updated (even though my phone/watch did). When I unchecked the box, then re-checked it, it updated to the correct zone. Anyone else or a fix? Minor annoyance and I'm likely not to drive that far soon again.

I noticed the same issue this weekend. Drove from Eastern to Central and the time didn't update. I verified auto adjust was on and performed the same steps as you. Made me wonder what it's supposed to use to auto update (cellular, map location, etc).

We frequently cross time zones on our road trips, and it has never automatically updated. It's a minor annoyance, but it probably only bugs me because there's a setting that doesn't appear to work. Hey BMW, if there's a feature that doesn't work, maybe you should just remove the option from the menu.

Same issue. Never updates automatically. I didn't notice it until the idrive update.
