    Default Clock running fast

    Does anyone else find themselves setting the radio clock back a couple minutes consistantly from time to time? Seems like several times a year, I have to trim some time off the clock to bring it back to match everything else.

    Yeah I have to move it probably once a year - or so.

    I think once you accelerate more than a 5 second 0-60 you gradually press back the timey wimey around the car and it adds up over time such that your clock will go wrong.

    Your cell phone however is always re-updating so you never notice it shifting out. But the car's clock is static and the timey wimey bubble gets slightly out of phase.

    (someone on here has to watch DR WHO).

    Seriously note I swear I find I've been doing it since I removed both the onstar and the XM radio pieces which I did some months after I got the car. ANd I think I did the same on my GTO and Riviera before that
