Setting the time You can choose between a quartz clock and a radio-controlled clock*. If you have chosen the quartz clock, you must set the time and date yourself. The radio-controlled clock* receives the time and date automatically. Calling up the Time setting menu – Press the function selector button marked "SETUP" – Press the Time control button. The Time setting menu will appear on the MMI display. Selecting the time source* – Turn the rotary push-button to Time source and press to confirm. – Turn the rotary push-button to quartz or radio clock* and press to confirm. When the time source is selected as radio clock*, the “signal reception symbol” appears on the rev counter display. Setting the time (only possible for time source: quartz) – Turn the rotary push-button to Time and press to confirm. The hour display will be highlighted in white on the MMI display. – To set the hour, turn the rotary push-button clockwise or anti-clockwise and press it. The minute display will then be highlighted in white on the MMI display. – To set the minutes, turn the rotary push-button clockwise or anti-clockwise. – Confirm the time setting by pressing the rotary push-button. * Applies to vehicles with radio-controlled clock |

I can speak for the functionality of U.S. spec 3G Nav equipped A4s: no radio controlled clock. Can anyone with an A4 in other countries chime in as to whether or not their car is equipped with this? |
wow is this discussion still going on? People, it takes 5 seconds to adjust the clock manually in your cars. Twice a year makes that 10 seconds. I plan on keeping this car for 5 years so it will take me all of 50 seconds to change the clock over the 5 year period. It has taken me longer to type this post. Well maybe not 50 seconds because I am a pretty quick typer/typist. OK now that I have rambled on for a few more sentences, I am now at 50 seconds. Good night all.

To be fair, the discussion is really about whether the cars have/should have a radio-controlled clock. There are benefits to a radio-controlled clock beyond the twice-a-year time change. It keeps the clock accurate year-round, and adjusts to different time zones if you are traveling. It also re-sets itself if you disconnect the battery for service.
It's hardly a major issue, but it would be nice to have a simple technology that is included in numerous consumer devices. |
