My LX did not update the time, it still shows the time my house clocks are showing, 1 hour behind....guess I'll change 'em all today, perhaps

 

 

This morning I went out to my 2018 LX, put the key in and turned the screen on, but didn't start the car. The time was wrong, still showing old time. Waited .... and about a minute later the time automatically changed and moved one hour up so that it's correct now. Looking around in the clock menu I see that there is a setting to automatically update for Daylight time if you want and I have it "on". Otherwise you'd have to do it manually yourself. I don't have GPS so I'm not sure where the Fit gets the time information, perhaps off radio station sub carriers which may carry that kind of info.

 

 

Same here....

 

On my 2018 EX I had to manually change the time to the correct one. I went into clock settings and "Daylight savings time" was ON, so I don't know why it didn't work.....I pressed ON again and it finally changed itself. Hope I don't have to do that again.

 

You may have just been too impatient. On mine it didn't happen instantaneously when I turned the car on. I figured it took about a minute to happen but it might have been longer.

 

Maybe, I didn't time how long I waited, but I just assumed it would've changed itself right away.

 

My 18 EX changed automatically. There's a setting in the clock menu to update it automatically or not

 

Either way.
I don't mind if it sets itself.
Or I don't have a problem adding or subtracting an hour manually.
I think I've done it manually since I've owned the vehicle.

 

What happens with me is that I forget to change the car clocks (because I don't have the keys on me when I'm adjusting all the other house clocks).

Days later, when I go for a drive, a few miles in I realize $%&$@%^ I forgot to change the time, and I start messing with it while on the road! (Distracted Driving)

Of course, someone else ALWAYS has it worse than us:

 

I wonder if this must be a new feature on the newer Fits?
I checked my owners manual for my 2016 Honda Fit EX and it doesn't seem to suggest there is any "automatic" way for it to adjust. Only how to change it manually.

So if the new Fits have a automatic way? That must be a change.

 

The 2018 Fit got a minor mid term upgrade in a number of areas. Honda mentioned some of the major things like better soundproofing and the radio knob but there were probably a number of other small things done which they never mentioned and I guess this is one of them. There's probably a few other small things which Honda did on the 2018 which no one is aware of yet.

 

 

My 2015 EX will update the time automatically if and when it syncs to a phone using Bluetooth. I am sometimes out of town on work for several days at a time, and during these periods I disconnect my Fit's battery to avoid excessive drain. When I reconnect it, it lights up with the time on its factory default, but within seconds of the display showing that a Bluetooth connection to my phone has been established, the clock automatically starts to show the correct time. Without a phone to sync to, however, I have to set the time manually.

 

that's cool info.

 

That's a DIY item.
