I have a LandRover. The clock sometimes changes by itself...but only to Army time, lol. Then I have to remember the loop holes to click to,get to actually set the time.

I have only two timey things that change twice a year:

*my laptop, which does it automatically

*my digital watch that I wear 24/7, which I have to reset

Lots of playing around with the buttons before it's correct.

@jlkz. You are braver than me! When I can no longer crane my neck, I might give it a try! 😬

I don't bother changing the time in my car when just adding an hour for daylight savings takes no time and no effort.

@monicakm. My new car is like a Flintstones car compared to that cruise ship you bought. I could never deal with that. All I want/need is a small, basic car.

But now it's brake assist, lane assist, this assist, that assist....... The only assistance I need is assistance with the assistance! LOL!

@Terrywu Same with all my clocks in the kitchen! Which one do I trust? Am I going to be late or early? LOL

OMGosh! I never thought I'd hear of someone else not trusting the backup cam. Do you know that it either is or soon will be mandatory for ALL new cars to come with backup cameras? They save lives and prevent accidents.
We've had a backup cam for over 14.5 years and DH still won't trust it. The new car's backup cam has a lot wider field of view, side views and I don't know how, but a bird's eye view How do they do that??

Tell your DH that I "BACK HIM UP", pun intended! LOL! 😁

@Kachina624. That is a riot! I had to buy a new car in the summer and STILL haven't figured out half of the fancy schmany things yet alone changing the clock. Just give me A/C, power windows and a radio and I'm good!

@LdyBugz

If you bought it at a dealership, THEY have the responsibility to get you comfortable with the new ride.

If the salesperson isn't happy to have you come back in, speak to the manager ... or the owner.

Do not struggle on your own.

@LdyBugz,

@jlkz ,

I'm impressed too!

It took me over year to try it, and awhile to get used to it and not use the me turning around method.

But it's still not infallible. I was backing out of my garage and all in the yellow lines (I only have yellow and orange) and my side mirror on the passenger side clonked the side of the garage. I thought wait! I was in the yellow lines!

I also don't understand the dotted orange line before the solid one Does the dotted line mean I'm going to hit what I'm backing into or just a warning or what?

Sorry this is not about the time but since this was brought up, we might as well look into all these technical not very simple things that are supposed to improve our lives, but can cause lots of aggravation trying to figure them out!

When I got my 2024 Subaru, I had to return to the dealer a few days later to take a "class(es)". Someone sat with me and went over how to use everything, especially the Apple car play.

I love the back up mirror. Several cars ago, it was a little picture on my rear view mirror. Now it's just about a movie screen! I haven't turned my head in about 2 years.
