Or does everyone else know and no-one told me!

 

Heading down the motorway yesterday for an 8am appointment, looked down at the clock 8:20!  I've been in a different time zone the week before and my head and maybe my watch may not have recovered so have a look at my phone and find its not me going crazy, the car is wrong. How could that happen, clock advanced exactly one hour.

 

I'd mislaid my keys the other day but found them this morning, then a thought hit me. I got into the car and turned on with "my" key , clock is correct, turn off then on with spare key clock wrong again. 

So the time displayed takes into a count the key used.  All very clever, but why? It doesn't make any sense  to me that two people using the same car would want different times.

 

Now I need to work out how to correct for one key without messing it up for the other.

I'm sure my son is sometimes in a different time zone to me - so probably  good idea 

 

There's the Daylight saving setting on the Maxidot display. If the clock is key independent, then that setting most likely isn't, along with other personalization settings.

That's a god point, I'll give it a check. Still seems a strange setting to put on the key though.

time travel!

 

putthe radio on with the "forward" key for grand national day, get the 1-2-3 places then put your house on the result

I could have done with time travel on Friday too miss out a nightmare journey from Brittany to Yorkshire.

 

1st leg Dinan to the Chunnel - not a red/orange traffic blob in sight on Tomtom - lovely

2nd leg Chunnel to Yorkshire - M20, M25, M11, A14 hell on earth - Tomtom traffic raised  a white flag

 

Actually Tomtom helped relieve the pain a bit doing sterling job reducing traffic especially around the Dartford crossing and M11/A14 and found a great motorway service station (er actually a roadside Indian restaurant ) when we bypassed the M11/A14 roadworks traffic

That appears to be the issue, 'my' key had daylight saving off, the spare key had it on, turned off on that one and clock now reading correct time for both keys.  This doesn't seem right though, come Autumn when I turn daylight saving back on again the hour will advance but in Autumn the hour should go back.  Maybe I should have daylight saving turned on now (for both keys) and re-set the time then turn it off over winter but that doesn't seem right either as it is the Winter months where daylight saving is in effect.

 

Still can't get my head around the setting being related to key.

Doesn't stop me wanting to though.

What annoys me about the keys is that the preset seat positions only move when you unlock the car. Much of the time my wife and I are swapping driving duties at home and I have to squeeze myself into 'her' seat then press button '2', and wait for the long move backwards. First world problems!

I believe you can configure the seat to move backwards when you turn off, maybe that would help?

All the personalised settings in the maxidot menu are stored with the key. Makes a certain amount of sense if you have two drivers in the car - each can have their own setup matched to their key and not have to worry about messing it up for the other.

Fully understand that and for personalised settings it makes sense but time zone?

More than likely, all of the customisations are stored in a single data block and it's easier to synchronise that as a whole than try to pick through it for certain settings only.
