I have a 2015 1500 Bighorn. My clock display keeps losing time. Every week or so I need to adjust it a minute or two to be in sync with the actual time. It bugs the crap out of me. Anyone else have this issue? What did you do to resolve it?

My Dad's 09 Jeep loses about 4 minutes a week, I just noticed my truck is 3 minutes behind but I don't remember the last time I set it

In all seriousness, when was the last time you updated your Uconnect software?

No clue. Just purchased it in January CPO from a Ram dealer.

I know some of the 8.4 radios can be set to sync with the GPS

Seems normal to me. Every vehicle I've ever had has done that. Funny thing is they all eventually find a time how far they want to be behind and just stop falling back there. Some have been a minute, some up to 5 - 10 minutes. I think most clocks that don't get their time from a central computer do this; happens to all my appliances at home too. The colder it gets, the more they all seem to run behind. I've even seen some clocks run fast when it gets really hot.

Correct, check in your radio settings if you can do this, if it is not an option, have them check for updates for your radio.
If you cannot sync it to gps and all the software is up to date, you need a new radio.

I have mine sync with GPS. The 2010 Dakota I had before this would lose a few minutes over the course of a few months. My wife had a 2012 Compass before we got her a 2014 Grand Cherokee, and that Compass would lose a few minutes a week. Drove her insane, no option on that base radio to sync with GPS.

I have a 2016 with the 8.4 and my clock is always reads 12 for the hour and the minutes are correct when i get in. I only use it on weekends. all my presets are still in. I park in the garage so I guess its not getting gps.
