My clock keeps changing time zones! How about yours?

[Tsys100718]

I recently purchased a 2019 RAM 3500 DRW. I got the 5 in Uconnect radio with XM radio. Being lazy, I don't like having to search for stations when I travel, which I do quite a bit. I live fairly close to the timezone change line and my radio keeps reverting to CDT/CST instead of staying set on EDT/EST. I had a 2018 Challenger that had the same issue. I was told to turn off the GPS sync, which I did. It never fixed the issue. I was also told, by the dealer I bought the Challenger from, that it was a known issue and that there was no fix available for it. Now apparently, it seems that RAM hasn't fixed it either.
Am I the only one that has this problem? Just wondering!

I'm pretty close to the MST/CST transition line that's in effect for about four months of the year in these parts. The changeover is typically pretty accurate - within a couple or three hundred ft fm the border. How close is "fairly close" in your instance?

I hear ya, I'm actually only about 4 or 5 miles most of the time and I do crossover a few times a week. However, the first time I noticed it with the RAM, I was about 20 miles way. So, I rese it to EDT and within a couple minutes, it was back to CDT. So I guess I'll just have t deal with it!

I'm sorry to hear that. If you change your mind please let me know.

I have a 2025 Ram 3500, and live on the Ga/Al State line. In Phenix City, AL, we all go by EST because many folks that work in Columbus and Ft Benning live in Alabama, and it's stupid to change from EST/CST every day when you go to/from work. I have the "Sync with GPS" turned off, but every time I cross the river, my clock changes. I would like VERY MUCH to set my clock and it stay on the time I tell it. Dealer says "known issue, no fix". If I can tell my cellphone not to change time, why can't clock in truck work the same?
