Not sure what's going on, but the time indicated keeps jumping forward an hour. Sometimes, if I connect my iPhone, the time will go back to correct, sometimes not. I have changed the setting regarding the time synchronized with satellite - and it happens regardless of if that setting is on or not.

1/5 times, even with phone connected, I wind up having to manually set the time... only for it to be wrong again next time I get in...

What in the world is going on?

I wasn't sure what options were available to set on the Gen5 truck radios. If you had the Navigation option you could see if it was correctly locating you. It possible it's not reading the GPS data correctly. Does it happen if you manually set the time?

I manually set the time, and this happens to me too. I have a 2019 1500 Big Horn Classic. Instead of going an hour ahead for daylight savings time, it went an hour back. So my clock is two hours off. I drove it across the country last spring, and it screwed up some, but not all of the time zone crossings. I checked, and I have the latest firmware installed. I do not have GPS.
