jzeiler4 · 07-18-2022, 10:22 AM

Well once again crossed the time zone and no "Auto-Update". Did some digging and found that the system uses online time from your home zip code to update the clock during auto update. To remedy this you have to change the default from online to NAV for the basis of time on the update.

Went into Bimmercode to Headunit, then expert mode and selected 3000 HMI.
Then selected SETTINGS_TIME_AUTOMATIC

It was set to online (0x01) so I selected navigation (0x02) and hit save, then code.

Tested it by deselection auto time setting on the iDrive and changed it to one hour ahead and then hit Auto adjust and it corrected the hour. Before it would not, but it would correct the minutes. Now it uses the Nav for the time source.

Hope this helps someone down the road.
Of course if you don't have NAV I guess you are stuck.
