    Took me a few minutes to figure it out even with the manual. My old Prius had buttons just below the clock.

    Welcome to the digital age? Lol it’s easy to set them. Go to setting, clock and press up and down to set the time. Done in less than 1 min

    Why is it so hard to set? "Progress", lol.

    I'll second the ease of dedicated buttons. They're the Naz for kmh/mph switch too.

    My question is why we are having to set the clock at all? Doesn't the GPS and Entune system have access to the current time?

    The vehicle clock is set manually and the I believe the scheduled charging goes by the vehicle clock.

    The GPS clock is separate from the vehicle clock.

    the irony to this is when you travel into another time zone the car notifies you that you have entered another time zone:p

    Does Japan have only one time zone and no daylight savings time?

    Yes, only one time zone and no daylight savings time. They have it easy...

    I have to admit daylight savings time really screws up my sun dial. Worse, Stonehenge.

    Don't forget to go into the settings on the Entune system to set it to daylight savings time.

    Not everyone with Entune-equipped cars has allowed it to connected.

    The dashboard clock controls the charging schedule. What does the clock in the nav system do? In other words, why would I bother setting it?:confused:

    If you have the destination ETA set to "time of arrival" instead of "time to destination", then you'll want a correct clock so it can show the correct time of arrival.
