It's Daylight Savings Time, Folks — Do YOU Know How To Change Your Vehicle's Clock?

It's Daylight Savings Time, Folks — Do YOU Know How To Change Your Vehicle's Clock?
At 2:00 am — or, what it 3:00 am — the clocks moved one hour forward. Known as making Agent 00R misera, I mean, Daylight Savings time, it's time to spring forward. 

As with every time the clocks change, I knew that meant one thing: I'd have to help my father fix his clock in his BMW. For whatever reason, the guy just doesn't get it. And I've shown him multiple times.

So when I received a little meme care of Agent 001 I couldn't help but crack up. 

That said, I've got to ask: Do YOU know how to change your car's clock OR do you have to seek assistance? Whether it's opening the owner's manual, Googling or leveraging YouTube, it all counts folks.

Some cars are smart enough to adjust their clock with daylight savings, time zone changes.

If my 2015 Minivan can set the clock properly without any Input - what excuse could virtually any other car have NOT to do it?

The proper way is to change your clock is to disconnect your battery and reconnect it at exactly 12:00 or leave it alone and in 6 months it will be correct again...

Hey - It's "Daylight Saving Time" (not "Savings Time").

Of the cars I own, '16 Mazda CX-5, '16 Acura MDX, '11 BMW M3 and '07 Honda CRV, I'm pretty sure the BMW is the only one that requires a manual change.... Seems pretty crazy since the car has satellite communication and its own cell connection for BMW Assist, and even asks you what time zone you're in (UTC-5 I think), yet it still requires manually entering the time in I-Drive!!!
