Is it possible to set the time displayed on the maxidot with VCDS so the seconds are correct, so the time displayed is synced to a laptop which is synced to a time server.

 

I've had a quick look using search but nothing came up.

 

Thanks.

I'm not sure about the Mk2 - but IIRC the Mk3 has an option to source time from GPS signal.

IME you need a permanent source to your NTP server to do this.

do you really need it to be that accurate? 
(just asking for a friend)

Just to update.

 

Whilst I can update the time with VCDS I can only do it in the same way as using the maxidot. Set the minute and wait until seconds hit 00 on the laptop and then click set/update. I would say using the laptop with VCDS is easier than the maxidot because the maxidot does time out the display if set is not clicked within 15 seconds or so.

 

@Warrior193  Not possible on the MKII without a seperate "time receiver" module fitted.

 

@Paws4Thot Ignore every thing I wrote after the comma in my first post. I just muddy the water after that.

 

@Winston_Woof I Don't know?😀 It's annoying for regular BBC Radio 4 listeners when they send out the time signal beep, beep, beeeep. Then I see how far the time is out.
