I'm getting picky now and I want to see if I'm the only one with this.
The clock on the non-NAV gains time at a rate of 2/3 minutes per month.
It isn't a big problem - I don't feel it is a safety concern - although it did make us drive faster to get to work before we realized what was going on :) |

| I too have the same issue, I have only had my MO for 2 months I have started to notice it. Don't know if it is an issue yet, but I will see. |
|

| Dave, when you say "2/3 minutes per month", do you mean between 2 and 3 minutes per month, or 2/3rds of a minute (i.e. 40 seconds)? |
|
|
| fdonaghy |
| And for the past 6 months, I thought it was my imagination. Mine seems to be advancing at about the same rate (non-nav). I've reset it several times since getting the car in August, 2003. I first noticed it when I was late (or so I thought) for my son's Scout meeting, when I actually was the first one there. |

| I have noticed about 1 min. advance per month. i try to keep my clock set to the local news channel and when it dings on the hour I am a minute or more fast. |
|
|
| Kris |
My clock is advancing too quickly too...........I do not see it as a great problem..........I just adjust it from time to time to match my atomic clock.:D
PS. You guys are taking JIT to a whole new level............almost had accident because clock in your car was the 2 min ahead of time? Common, I am picky and always keep my watches synchronized with atomic clock but 40s per month isn’t that bad considering ambient temperature changes…… |
|
|
| GMTURBO43 |
| Sorry - not two-thirds. 2 to 3 minutes. 2/3rds would be overly picky ;) |
|
|
| Gonzo |
| It would be really cool if the clock used the AM signal from the US ATOMIC clock to set itself like my clock at home... very handy! :cool: |
|
|
| Kris |
| Definitely it would...........let's hope somebody will come up with a solution......... |

My NAV clock has never been adjusted (by me anyhow) and is perfectly sychronized with the on the hour time chime from the local AM news channel.
I've had the vehicle since July 29th last year and have over 18,500 miles. |

Ummm....not quite correct. I don't think that there's an automatic sychronization to GPS time, but there is a manual one. Click on "Auto Adjust" under Settings > System Settings > Clock, and your clock will be matched with GPS time. Come to think of it, I've never seen my clock display a time different from GPS time, so maybe there is an automatic synchronization after all!
By the way, you can't always count on the top-of-the-hour chime on radio stations to determine the actual time. A friend who has worked at radio stations tells me that they sometimes record news feeds rather than join them live, and they'll manually sound the chime just before the recorded newscast begins to give an air of "authenticity" to the newscast....even though the newscast is a minute or two off the true time.

I can see that being true in smaller markets, but I use 880 WCBS out of New York, and time and time again, my clock changes to the new hour literally halfway through the tone. It is perfectly on the second time after time. I also set my (analog) watch to match my ntp server, and will occasionally double check my watch against the car clock. After over a year of matching my watch to my ntp server and my car clock and the 88 CBS tone, I find it hard to believe that CBS may occasionally be off by a minute or two and just use the tone to sound official. I guess I could use WWB but I think I have enough timesources.
But again, I opened by saying I believe it for smaller markets and less critical stations. |

| Yes, the clock is not accurate on my 2004 which I purchased in Feb2004. I don't quite understand how something as basic as this could slip through the cracks at Nissan. |

| I just realized I have this same problem today. I've had my non-Nav '04 SE for three months, and the clock has is routinely fast by five to seven minutes. I have reset it a couple of times thinking I set it incorrectly before, but to no avail. Weird. |

| The clock issue is not limited to Nissan. I had a newer model GM SUV that would lose about a minute a week. They never figured that one out either. I was not the only one who had the problemm as there were many posts on the Edmunds Town Hall about the same issue. |

My friend says that he can set the clock in his '03 Trailblazer by pushing a button on his radio whenever he's near Newark Airport.
Now I've been a geek for about 24 years, and a ham with digital data modes for 10, but I have no idea what the heck he's talking about. Does anyone know what GM may have built into their radios to support this function? |

I've talked to the dealership about this.. and here is what happened
last week the MO was in for service, (clock was 11 mins fast).. I reported the problem.. the dealer reported "no problem found" yet the idiots didn't even reset the time, they left it 11 mins fast, they plugged in thier little computer (which does not even check the clock!!) and said "I don't see a problem.
I called the dealership and spoke to one of the guys who I know is good, he said that 2/3 mins a month is "acceptable" and within parameters.. I asked him what the exact parameters are , and he could not answer. I asked him to tell me what steps I could do to properly "track and identify" this problem, and again he did not know. the only thin he could do was create a "product report" to nissan with the issue, but he coul dnot even say that he would get any response at all..
I called the Nissan support # and spoke to a lady there and explained the situation. she is going to call the "techies" and get a "parameter" which is acceptable and let me know. she is also going
to ask them what steps I should do to properly log and report this
problem so I can get it a) accepted as a problem b) fixed..
they gave me some line about the clocks being like that, but I would not accept it . THIS IS 2004, I can get a cheap 30 cent watch which is more accurate then the MO clock. I told her it was not a valid excuse, there is no way there could be that much variance in todays electronic age.. (without being a problem)
I'll let you guys know what happens.. |
|
|
| GMTURBO43 |
I kinda feel bad having started this conversation. I'm happy that I'm not the only one - however it kinda bites that so many are having the same, ever so slight, problem.
I've thought about asking our dealer about it - but it isn't a big deal really. Although - when you think about buying a 5 dollar digital watch that holds better time.... |

yeah, a $50,000 watch that get's beat by a cheap $1.00 vending machine watch.. it does not speak well for the engineers..
To me it's relative. in todays day and age, you expect things like a clock to be acceptable for time tell. 2/3 mins a month is not acceptable in my opinion. |
|
|
| Kris |
| I agree. I would think that +/- 5 sec /month would be acceptable. But 40 seconds is well out……… |

Update:
I called Nissan Customer Support and described the exact problem to them.. they told me that the information does not exists on how to diagnose the problem, or what the proper specs for the clock are..
They said they would talk to the techies and call me back..
Two weeks later .... NADA..
I have been keeping a log using my GPS, and I can show that on a DAILY basis, the clock is 6 seconds faster....(6 Sec/day)
I'm going to call them back and themm that that this is not acceptable. |

| Nissan doesn't make the clock chip first off. If the time is off, then adjust it when needed. :25: |
|
|
| darrylburke |
Nissan does not make the chips in the CVT as well, but they are still responsible to make sure it works, and if not then to swap it out..
your "theory" is fine if the clock is running slow (lets say 2 mins) then three button presses and youare fine.. in my case I'm FAST so I'm not doing it for 58 presses (or a long hold)
my $5 cheap watch is more accurate then my MO.. sorry, I won't accept this..
BTW search the web the "standard" accuracy for a quarty clock is 1 second per day.. not 6.. |

Doesn't matter. They should have verified it's accuracy before using, or they should go back to the supplier and have them provide a working version.

Ya, no big deal. It's obviously too much to expect for a product to function as expected. Crap, they should have just given us an hour glass to flip. |

Tell them it's got much worse and you want it replaced. I doubt they're going to sit there and measure it...
It is something that's adjustable by someone who understands how it works, but unfortunately I suspect there's no one at NNA that would know how as it should be done in manufacturing. |

OK.. here we have round two with Nissan on the advancing clock issue..
I called the canadian customer support line and spoke to yet another clueless, and completly unhelpful person..
I mentied my previous call, and they asked me if I had hear back from the dealership.. I told them that I had called a week ago and no answer was heard back from Nissan (tech) and that NONE was expected, since they o not have a process for the dealers to be able to hear back.. (FYI the dealer filled out a "product report" which described the problem, and submitted it. this process within NISSAN is a "one way" and the dealer is not guarenteed that anyone will even look at the report, never mind getting back to them.. (This is why I took it upon my self to call customer support directly))
so after 30 mins of trying to tell this lady, that the problem was NOT the dealership (as they have followed the only process they have for this type of thing) and that the problem was the PROCESS that nissan DID NOT HAVE to address this type of issue.. I got complelty no where.. she said that she would talk to the guy at the dealership, and see what was going on (I have not heard back yet again..) I also spoke to the guy at the dealership after (he hadn't heard from the lady) and told him my side, and that I was NOT saying that there was a problem at the dealership, and the he (Frank) was doing a good job, and using the process that nissan had setup for this type of thing (which obviously does not work)..
so. Round two... completly nowhere... I'm going to try again nexgt week, and talk to a manager at Nissan customer support to see what I can do to get this fixed.. (I guess the issue is now two fold.. 1) the clock 2) Nissan has NO PROCESS to fix anything which is not in the service manual.
This is driving me nuts.. |

| The clock is regulated by an internal quartz crystal. It is not adjusatble. The quality of the crystal determines the accuracy of the clock. I guess Nissan's clock board vendor just didn't go for the more precise crystal. Dealer can't fix it. Don't waste your time. |

and if they didn't , then Nissan has a major problem with the manufacturer of the board. something that they should be thanking me for pointing out..
BTW: you can get MECHANICAL clocks which are more accurate then the ones they have in the MO.
All I want, is a definate answer from them on what the SPEC should be, and if I can prove it's outside, then I can show it's a manufacturers defect, and they should fix it. (Heck if they can't then they can upgrade my SE to the GPS option for free, which will keep it up to date..)..
FYI, if they can't fix it, then I want the explaination in WRITING.. (I'd love to show that to a newspaper for an article..) |
|
|
| ekaxel |
I doubt that you will find a written spec (for public consumption).
I guess I should expand on my comment about the crystal. A lot of other factors influence the circuit design. How good is the voltage regulation on the board? How good is the temperature variation tolerance of all the components?
BTW: My clock does the same thing. I live with it. |

Update:
spoke to Nissan Canada today.. my "File" is under active review between the dealer, and Nissan Tech support, and I wil be advised when anything happens.. (Finally some confirmation that the "product report" the deal submitted was received and actively being looked at)
I've told them that I am doing an active monitoring of the clock with the GPS, and it's listed on the file. |

In that last two months I've noticed that the clock advancing has ceased for me - I distribute German precise time and frequency equipment in the US (GPS based time that is within 100 nanoseconds of UTC(USNO)) so had particularly noticed having to reset the (fast) time by a couple of minutes every 3-4 weeks.
The only electrical things that have happened during that period of time is that the battery has been disconnected for a couple of things withing the last 2-3 months - installation of Nissan factory trailer hitch wiring harness, seat rail replacement for rocking TSB, and replacement of the steering wheel wiring harness for the steering control buttons (to fix random station selection switch inoperability).
It seems odd that the clock advancing issue seems to have settled down, but I find it hard to believe that the above battery disconnect actions had an effect on the oscillator performance. |
|
|
| Gonzo |
| Could it be the warmer weather? Perhaps its affecting the quartz accuracy? |
|
|
| darrylburke |
well I've been tracking this for 9 days now with my GPS, and it's NOT a constant gain of time. it's strange.. I suspect it might be related to either driving time or # of times the MO is used..
I want to get a longer set of data before I graph it out and take a more detailed look |

Actually it's not that odd, as crystals age... Especially when new, then they settle into frequency. Might be interesting to watch that on other new Muranos, but I would expect any changes now to be from temperature changes and not as significant.
Anyone with a CDMA phone, your phone's time is linked to the network, which is linked to GPS time to allow it to work, which has rubidium clocks in the satellites which are linked to Cesium clocks on the ground. World time is determined by averaging a number of Cesium clocks.
So your time is tracable to Cesium clocks and should always be, at the absolute extreme worst case no more than 2 seconds off (although I would expect it to be significantly less). |

| My clock picks up a minute or two a month as well. I think every digital clock should be equipped with the :00 reset button. This way when the radio beeps on the hour, you hit the :00 reset and 9:03 (or 8:57) instantly resets to 9:00. As it stands now, there is no way to accurately set the clock to the second. I have had that button on most cars dating back to the 80's, should really be no big deal. |

Add me to the list of clock watchers. Today after 6 months of ownership my wife stated the clock is about 4 minutes off. I concluded it was probably due to me not paying attention during daylight saving time clock change. If it is a problem, it's my first and one that I can live with. It is strange in todays advanced tech market to find this happening.

My clock no longer advances. As a matter of fact it now loses. I haven't watched carefully but it's about 1 min. per 2 - 4 weeks.
Maybe it's just trying to average things out.:D |
|
|
| jaak |
Wild guess, gut impression, because I haven't actually measured it, but I'd say mine gains a couple of minutes a month.
I can live with that, but an hour an month is way too much. Pretty well makes it useless as a clock. So I'd go after them to fix it or replace it. |

Another Update today from Nissan:
I talked to the Dealer today, (who is doing a great job BTW).. and he has heard back from Nissan Tech support.. they were going to do a "swap" of the board for the clock, but since they update, he found out that the tech support have just tried this on another vehicle, with no success.. they are now in the process of dealing directly with the board manufacturer to find out the issue (lookup and confirm the original spec, and what the board delivered actually are)..
soo.. they are working "one the back end" with the board manufacturer.. I should head back in about a week..
FYI: they are also aware, that this also seems to be a more prolific problem then first appeard, and more people are noticing the time shift.. |

I can't help but wonder if there's a fix. And how long they will honour that replacement. Mine's over two years old now and still fast.
Maybe that's why the clock is turned off in the Infiniti models that have the same display. |

The reason the clock is turned off in the Infiniti models is because they have that nifty analog clock that is a signature of all Inifnity cars up on the dash. It's very hard to read and I personally would have asked for my digital display back, but I bet it keeps better time than the MO's clock. |

Yeah, I know that... I was joking!
So just to clarify, Nissan can't build a clock that keeps time, so on the Infiniti's they turned it off and put an old clock that works, in the dash, but made it too small for the old guys like us to actually read.;) |

| I checked my clock and it was at most 4 seconds slow compared to an atomic wall clock I have. I set the clock about a month ago using the same atomic wall clock so I think my clock is accurate. I found that when you change the minute digit the seconds are set to zero because the minute digit advances one minute after I set it. |

Want to trade?
With GPS and WWVB around, you'd think they'd make it so you never had to set it...
I was walking around the house one day setting the clocks for the time change, with a CDMA cell phone. My wife said, how do you know it's accurate? I taught her a lesson as to why she should not ask such things by explaining that:
CDMA phone gets time from Cell site, which gets time from Rubidium clock in GPS satellite, which get's time from Cesium clock on ground.
So the CDMA phone is tracable to a primary time standard. |

Wanna bet?? you should check it out against one of the clocks on the net..
I know a few carriers who do not sync them externally.. (I work for one of them.)
it also depends on the phone as well.. |

CDMA phones?
I know my TDMA phone never syncs...
So I wonder which time is worse, a CDMA sync'd phone off the network, which depends on precise timing to allow the system to even function and allow handoffs between cell sites, or the internet with it's propogation delays.
GSM, TDMA and Analog phones aren't so network timing critical as CDMA, so I'd be less likely to trust their time...
Which technology is your carrier using? |

I noticed in the 2004 service manual that the nav equipped Muranos can sync off the GPS clock, if desired.
Handy thing to have! |

| Wow, I feel strangely happy to find out that I'm not the only one whose clock advances 2 minutes every month. I mentioned this to the dealership when I was in for an transmission leak and they told me "there's nothing we can do about that" (of course my local dealership really sucks so that doesn't surprise me). Anyone have access to TSBs to see if anything has been done about this yet? |

On the 240, I could press a little button beside the clock just once to instantly change the time to the top of the hour, from say "6:02" to "6:00". (You could also set the clock normally, if you prefer.)
With the Murano (without the navigation option), you have to hold down the "M" button until the minutes flash, then release, then hold down the "M" button again until the minutes go all the way around to "00" again, then press the "PREV" button or wait 10 seconds for the display to resume.
To me, a feature like the 240 has would make compensating for the Murano's fast clock much easier. |

Just wanted to say that my 2004 Quest had the same problem with the clock. It would gain 2 or more minutes a month. I was always resetting it and it was aggravating to set. First, it was hard to push the button down then you had to go all the way forward, you couldn't back up and of course it would always go OVER the number that you wanted so you had to do it again.
My murano is the same way even though the button(H or M)is easier to push, you still have to go all the way around to get it BACK to the correct time. |

Ever since I got my '04 MO, the clock has gained time. I took it into the dealer and pointed it out when I was having other work done and when I picked it up the rep gave me a BS line that I must have been accidentally hitting the minute button as I pressed other things. As you all probably know, we have to hold down the button to go into Set mode to change the time. Over a couple of months its gained about seven minutes already. I had to do and couldn't argue with the idiot at the moment, but I plan on bringing it up again when I go back in for the recall.
Does anyone else have this problem?

5 months for me now, and my clock seems to still be right on time. Haven't adjusted it except for the day I picked it up from the dealer (it was about 10 minutes off, if I remember correctly).
Perhaps it's another one of those things that they silently fixed on the '05? Perhaps now you could get the clock replaced with an '05 model and have it keep proper time? Or perhaps I'm just lucky! :D |

| Mine has gained eight minutes since adjustment for daylight savings time. Approx. 2 minutes per month. I guess I have just accepted it now, but is still annoying. |

I wonder why everyone doesn't have the same exact issue. I can't believe they have various components/parts that would effect it. Mine is also fast but I can't give it a monthly rating. I know I just set it every few months. Too bad they don't use GPS time if you have XM or Sirius attached. |

Funny thing is.. since I brought in the MO to get the alternater done (and the 72K service)
the clock now runs SLOW 2/3 mins a month |

Given the option, I would prefer slower. Much easier to jump ahead a few minutes as opposed to having to go ahead 55 minutes every other month...
This clock definitely need the :00 reset button found on most other digital clocks.
72K Service! Man, you're clocking up the miles.:runaway: |

I'll see if mine does that having the alternator replaced. Say how is that CVT at 72K? Do you baby your MO or accelerate hard and drive with a heavy foot?
I baby it and drive light (usually 2K RPM or less) but really not because of the CVT just because that is how I drive. |

I work my CVT good, and use it for engine breaking a lot..
no problems other the I've noticed the "Drop off" (From low speed into neutral) is a bit more noticable. |
