Slow clock?

Any else experience this?......

I find that I have to add a minute or 2 to the clock in my Alero every couple of months to get it corrected. Been noticing this for at least 2 years. Finally got around to writing about it here since it hasn't been a major issue, just a little annoying.

I have not had that problem with my Alero, but personally I generally run a couple of minutes slow. Especially after several beers.

have you been driving really fast? The closer you get to the speed of light the more time slows down for the object in motion. Just a thought.

If you lived in Hawaii it's easy to explain

A local told us this

"A Hawaiian minute could be anywhere from 5 mintues to 3 years" lol So maybe your car is on Hawaiian time

Yea that is what my factory radio used to do also! Like the same thing every couple of monthes I would notice it was behind a couple mins. But even setting it a few minutes ahead did the same thing. I don't have my factory in anymore so i could care less!

I never heard of that before, using both buttons for auto update. I should try that next time. Thanks.
