Oddly, this morning neither of my radio-controlled clocks had updated themselves to GMT.
a) The S8. Radio symbol showing so it's had a signal fairly recently.
b) Office/study wall clock.

The mast symbol will only disappear after several days of failed attempts. Exact figure is documented earlier in this thread.
Because time changed today at midnight that means your synch attempts all failed since the midnight.
I checked my car in the morning and the clock updated tip top. Perhaps because of oem location of receiver.

Yes, I remembered that and assumed that was what happened to the car. :cool:

I just pulled the battery on the wall clock and it sorted itself out within a few minutes.
Car has been idle for several days and won't be in use for a few more anyway so I'll just leave it. It's been fine on all other changes since I put it in a couple of years ago.

I wonder if last nights clear weather conditions have affected radio propagation/reception?

Mine had updated overnight and seems to be working properly again :)

Haven't fault scanned it yet.....

Not even sure if my D3 has this as I always have to change the time manually

If not, it's probably a pretty simple add-on. Someone here must know.

Went into my S8 today to put something in the glovebox and noticed the clock is now correct. +++
Might be using it this evening for a local trip, otherwise it's first outing in over a week will be to Goodwood on Sunday on show at the "Bahn-Stormers Breakfast". :cool:

I really fancied this add on , so I waded through this thread
having done a cost /benefit analysis ....maybe I won't bother

I suppose I should be grateful that I don't have a beemer ; They solve the uk [ and maybe portuguese ] problem by having a transmission from the long wave transmitter at rugby so the system is available on uk vehicles ; but hang about .... the long wave transmitter works using good old fashioned thermionic valves , which are not made any more ! auntie had a search round the world and found some second hand ones available , so for the moment ok ; but when they are gone ....no more long wave transmissions

that WOULD be annoying ...if I had a beemer !

Mine stopped showing the antenna symbol a few days before the clocks changed and hasn't updated the time since. The receiver isn't in the OEM position, but it's worked fine for ages none the less. Do these things fail does anyone know?

as you are on perhaps 30% signal strength it is probably that !

I bought mine second hand fro ebay,de, so it wasn't dear and, because I fitted my receiver in a non OEM position (I've bought the brackets and will do it right eventually), it was a relatively easy fit - just remove the under dash panel below the steering wheel, plug it in, stick the receiver high behind the dash, and use the VCDS to tell the car it's there.

If I can do it, then most people can!
