Problem: "New Year Time Glitch"

Reporting a strange HU (headunit) issue here from the MMS Facebook page. Affected units seem to be 2012, 2013 and 2014 MS HU units. Multiple owners have commented that after the stroke of New Year 2018, the clock on the HU has been resetting almost daily.

We've tried calibration and going back to factory settings but the head unit still resets after a few hours. Let's post some tips here if you bump into a solution through experimentation barring a head unit change. Thanks

Inhibitor switch. Mga 10 mins lang yan.

When I experienced it, pede naman ibalik sa D from N para magenggage yung gear (D to N to D). Didnt need to put it back to P.

Lucky you bro. On MMS, there's 3 different threads reporting on the glitch and I estimate there's more or less 20 of us owners observing the same thing after New Year 2018. We're suspecting a firmware error. I wish we could sync it to the Navi time which is always correct.

Oo nga bro. Updated ba GPS versions nyo? Not sure kung nauupdate yung firmware pag nag update ng GPS version.

My last GPS update was 2016 pa.

I hope someone will find a fix on this. Hassle pag mali ang time.

I Had to set the head unit's clock twice today ⏰😠

Anybody here now know the fix for this inconvenience?

Btw, my gps isn't updated since i've been relying on waze for my navigation needs. Layo din kasi sa amin ang winterpine

Someone shared on the thread to try to sync the clock with the Navigation Time which is always correct. Have you tried looking at the HU menu for that option? I'll tinker with mine later too. If all else fails, I hope it's just a software / firmware problem that winterpine can find a solution to. Other owners are starting to chime in and report the same bug it's probably more than 20 owners now with a good percentage of them, 2012 owners like us.

Quite funny that a supposed Y2K-like bug is affecting a clock timer in 2018.

i'm also experiencing this glitch... 2012 GLS-V A/T
navigation time is correct naman but there's no option to sync the display time. i also tried RESET TO DEFAULT SETTINGS but to no avail.. the clock still goes back to the wrong time after a couple of minutes.

hoping that winterpine or much better if a tsikoteer will find a solution..

Update on the HU New Year Time Glitch...

Number of affected owners now has swelled to 40+ and the affected years seem to be MS 2010, 2011, 2012 GLSV and GLX, 2013 and 2014 GLX and one case of a Mirage G4.

Things we tried but didn't work...
Hard Reset, factory reset, battery disconnection then restart, Compass and GPS/Screen calibration. Adjusting the clock 3-4 hours in advance so it would reset and use the actual time. Turning OFF Mix Navi.

The tricky thing is the clock seems to pick a random time setting between 1 and 9. Glitch only affects the time but other HU features are functioning well.
