How to set the clock?

I know this is trivial, but I am a new Commander owner (3 whole days now) and I can't figure out how to set the clock on my '06 Limited with Nav head unit installed. I know I could have easily called the dealership and got my answer but I am a new member on this site and thought I would throw this out and get my feet wet on this forum. So far I have really enjoyed reading these threads, thanks for all the great info! Paul :)

Paul welcome to the group.

As far as setting the clock with the Nav unit, look at your navigation manual to set the clock. I had to reset our clock after the time change this weekend (the clock was on the wrong time zone so hopefully it's just a 1 time change). After staring at the owners manual I finally figured out that you have look at the navigation system to make the change.

If I recall you just hit the Navigation button and scroll down to system settings. From there you will select clock settings or something like that.

Enjoy the new ride.

Thanks Jeff, I looked at the owners manual and they only gave the directions for the units without NAV. Your suggestion sounds logical to me, I will give it a try.

Thanks! Paul

Once you get to the system settings as Jeff suggests you need to set the clock then scroll down and hit the done button. I may be slow, but it took me a while to figure that out

You recall correct, that is how you change it. The time zone is a one time set, unless you move or the radio loses power for whatever reason, battery change for example. Daylight savings time is also changed in the same screen, I believe it is the next selection below the time zone and I dont think it changes automatically.

Yes, the REC radio clock is controlled by menu selection.

I suggest choosing "USE GPS TIME". This keeps the minutes accurate via the GPS signals.

Once you set the time, using the check-box for DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME allows you to move forward and backward each Spring and Fall easily.

Man, you are right. It is silly. But it is even crazier when in your state but happen to be spending the night on the Navajo nation when the time changes. The Navajo res was on Daylight Savings but AZ was not. I finally got it straight. You live in a beautiful state by the way and my Commander was flawless on a four thousand plus mile trip.

My Owner's Manual does state to see the Nav Manual for clock setting. It does seem that with GPS the clock should automatically change back and forth for Daylight Savings as my computer and VCR do.

I have an '06 Limited with the 6-disk changer, NAV and rear entertainment system.

How do I set the clock on the radio? The owner's manual says to start by pushing the 'time' button but my radio doesn't have a 'time' button.

Thanks,
Dave

You have got me confused (you went from "not sure" to "ya, I know" pretty fast). Do you have the "REC" model DVD navigation stereo with 6 CD/MP3 Player? If so the 6 disc changer does not use a separate time setting. If your time is shown in 24 hour format on the CD player (bottom right hand corner) then it would also be shown in the same way everywhere else. Now on the subject of 24 hour time, no where in the manuals that came with the "REC" nav unit do they mention being able to switch to the 24 hour time format. Additionally, I have been all through my unit menus and have never seen that option. If yours is as such, and it is the "REC" unit, somthing is goofy. Are you pulling your time from the GPS source or do you have that unchecked (not that it should make a difference in time format display)?

Other options would be to unhook your battery and reset the unit. If that does not do it then I would take it to the dealer. Maybe they can access some sort of "service mode" that we don't know about and change it. Sorry I don't have an answer for ya. :confused:

Obviously our systems are different over here in Australia. Our Nav isn't connected to our radio its pretty much a totally different unit. I know how to set the time on the radio but wasn't sure if you could change it from 24hr to 12hr format.

Now i know how to change the time and format on the nav system but like i said our nav system is seperate to our radios over here in Aus.

Read several posts here saying to unhook the battery for 1/2 hr. to let the computer dumb down. Possibly get better mileage.
All the posts said "no biggie" all you have to do is reset the clock, radio presets won't be messed up. Ya right, now the clock minutes won't change. Hours can be set but not the minutes. Is that what I get for listening to you guys? Going by the manual instructions and it was ok when switching off DST.
Any ideas to remedy this will be greatly appreciated.

Press the tuning knob in to change from hours to minutes, if you have a single CD or 6 Disk changer.

And, you don't need to unhook the battery for 1/2 hour, 15 seconds is just as effective.

That's what I used to do in the Magnum, but I don't know which fuse that is on the Commander. When you do that, you don't lose any settings such as MPG, or clock settings.

did that, minutes don't blink and can't be changed.
can't let the nav do it- don't have nav - don't need it. You meet nice folks when you are lost and stop for directions.
Now that the clock is screwed up I guess I have a reason to be late or early.

02-14-2008, 08:56 AM
If you have the 6 disc changer -
1) Press and hold the "time" button until the hour flashes.
2) Use the right knob to dial in the hour
3) PRESS IN the right knob to switch to minutes (then minutes will flash)
4) Use the right knob to dial in minutes
5) Press in the right knob again to lock in the time

If this doesn't work, maybe you radio is defective and this is a warranty issue. Probably not the fault of the nice folks on this forum who are trying to help you.

It is wrong because it still is exactly an hour off set to GPS clock. I have the daylight savings box checked. When I choose the GPS setting, the time remains an hour ahead. When I set the user clock settings to the correct time, after hitting ok, it is about an hour and a half off. I have never had something so simple as setting a clock, be such a PITA. One thing I noticed, the Discovery weather station I have in my living room is set to the Atomic clock and it has yet to adjust to daylight savings time. The same thing for the caller id on my landline is still an hour off as well and has not adjusted either.

Glad to here if finally worked out for you, it must have been very frustrating. Even for something as simple as having the correct time would bother me also. I wonder if it was the GPS system in your area or the electronics in your car, we'll never know. I work for an electric utility in New York and we upgrade a lot of our equipment to computer / solid state controls, and strange things come with technology. Sometimes they pop up weeks or months after installation. Good luck to all of us in April when we have to check the DST box again.

It was indeed frustrating. I don't know what was going on for a couple days after the dst change. The landline caller id did not change to the correct time and the Discovery weather station that is set to Atomic time, did not change to the correct time until a couple of days after the dst change. :dunno:

From the Navigation Manual:

Setting the Clock
GPS Clock
The GPS receiver used in this system is synchronized to the time data being transmitted by the GPS satellites. The satellites' clock is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This is the world-wide standard for time. This makes the system's clock very accurate once the appropriate time zone and daylight savings information is set.

1. At the System Settings screen, highlight "Clock Setting" and press ENTER. The Clock Setting screen appears.

2. To show the GPS clock, select "Show GPS Clock" and press ENTER.

3. To adjust the time zone, Select "Time Zone" and press ENTER. Select the appropriate time zone and press ENTER.

4. To turn daylight savings on or off, select "Daylight Savings" and press ENTER. Select "On" or "Off" and press ENTER.

User Clock
If you wish to set the clock to a time different than the system clock, you can manually adjust the time by choosing the "Set User Clock" option.

1. Highlight "Set User Clock".

2. To increase the clock by hours, make sure "HR +" is highlighted and press ENTER. Press ENTER again to increase the clock by another hour. You will see on the "Show User Clock" display the number of hours you have increased the clock by.

3. To decrease the clock by one hour, use the Select Encoder to highlight the "-" sign. Press ENTER. Press ENTER again to decrease the clock by another hour.

4. To increase the clock by minutes, make sure "MIN +" is highlighted and press ENTER. Press ENTER again to increase the clock by another minute.

5. To decrease the clock by minutes, use the Select Encoder to highlight the "-" sign. Press ENTER. Press ENTER again to decrease the clock by another minute.

6. Select "Done" to exit from the clock setting mode.

Yes, Erick has the REC nav unit. However it's impossible to access the menu to adjust either GPS or clock setting without a nav disc in the system. Since his Commander arrived without the nav disc he is stuck without a settable clock until he gets one.

BTW, Erick, I'd contact the selling dealer and see if they will send you a nav disc for free or at the very least discounted.

The guy at the dealership here is trying to hunt one down using his contacts. I should be able to get it for nothing...I hope. The folks there at Sheboygan, didn't have one, so we were pretty much on our own. If they were a Jeep dealership, I would pretty much require one.

I don't know what manual you are looking at but the REC NAV does not use a "clock" button to set the clock. If your unit looks like the pic in my previous post then you have the REC NAV unit and that "Mute" button has nothing to do with setting the clock. You have to go into the menu to set the clock. See the instructions in my previous post.

The guy at the dealership here is trying to hunt one down using his contacts. I should be able to get it for nothing...I hope. The folks there at Sheboygan, didn't have one, so we were pretty much on our own. If they were a Jeep dealership, I would pretty much require one.
Sheboygan Auto Group (http://www.sheboyganauto.com/) is a Jeep dealership. On the east side is the Buick, Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac dealership. The west side houses the Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep dealership. They are one and the same and under the same ownership. Your Commander was sitting on the Chrysler side (as seen by me) while the sale might of been handled on the Chevy side in your case. They should be able to get you a disc.

Thanks for that info. I emailed Chad over there and hopefully they'll send me a disc. It only makes sense that if they have Jeep dealership, that they would include a nav disc on a used Jeep.

It's good to be armed with some information. Tell Chad to walk the 100 yards to the other building's parts department and order a nav disc for you.

If he's unable to do that for you let me know. I'll go over there with some friends armed with baseball bats and Molotov cocktails. :rofl:

Looks like you might need too! He told me that it would run $200-$300. Yea, that ain't gonna fly. Looks like I need to call Chad's boss.

I smell BS. For us it's $200, for them it's at cost and I bet at cost is nowhere near $200.

EDIT: Here's the staff of Sheboygan Chevy. (http://www.sheboygangm.com/NewModelsPage_3)

The newest REC nav disc release on their website says like $180. My Carmax paid $180 to buy mine.

hello. my wife and i just bought a 2007 LIMITED with the 6 disc/ nav radio system in it. i have the owners manual, and want to reset the clock. according to the manual, i have to hit the NAV button, and it will bring up the clock menus, both GPS and user time. When i hit the NAV button, i get a " INSERT DVD-ROM" all the time, no matter which combo of buttons i push. :icon_confused:The clock is correct as far as MTN STD TIME, but i would like to put it at DST. Any assistance that can be given will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Post # 5 does not work. On the LCD screen, i have a prompt to "INSERT DVD-ROM". my settings menu does not appear. Will disconnecting the battery reset the LCD screen to remove the "INSERT DVD-ROM" prompt ?

Apparently you do not have a navigation DVD in the unit. You cannot do anything related to navigation or set the clock without a disc.

There is a little plastic cover below the screen. On the left hand side of the cover is a tab. You need to insert a small obect to push the tab and then remove the cover. Be careful not to break the cover when removing. Then on the right hand side of the opening there is a button. Using a pen or similar object press the button to eject the disc if there is one in the unit.

Let us know if you do not have a disk, I am sure one of us can come up with one. I think there is even one for sale in the buy/sell section.

Same thing happened to me just today that did the guy earier in the thread that joked about not taking advice from anyone here anymore, lol. Today, I disconnected my neg. cable to reset the computer. When I got back in the truck I saw I needed to set the clock. Well, I have the single-disc CD player...base model. I pressed the clock button, held it in like usual when setting the time, but this time the time (hours or minutes) never began to flash so I could adjust the time. Just----nothing----as I held the button in.
