In my A4, you had to work thru a zillion menu's just to re-set time. I agree it is easy on E60 using Idrive.

I think it would be impossible without Nav because the car doesn't know where you are. Certainly windows based computers update automatically but there is a setting for location. It could grab it off Nav but without Nav I don't see how it is possible.
It would be easy to just update it through Verizon (Assist) but I know it doesn't do that.

mine did not auto update this morning.
easiest way to access the change screen = hit voice button on steering wheel -- say "clock" or "time"

Mine changed automatically last week too. I think the car is using RDS from the radiostations.

Well it's clear that the car doesn't change the time automatically but I just realized that I had to adjust my board settings here on e60.net manually as well.
You'd think that the IPB folks could at least have a checkbox or two defining the fact that I observe DST and automatically adjust things for me on the appropriate dates if I tell it to...

I have Nav, and I had to change it manually.
This is disappointing, because a Nav car should get time automatically from the satellites. My mom's old Lexus with Nav does this, and so does her new one.
