How to set the clock on 2nd Gen Vanquish S

[Aldhun]

The time shown on the screen in my 2018 Vanquish S is an hour ahead - Summer Time I guess. I have scrolled through all the options in Settings, Navigation Etc without finding anything to do with Time. Guidance on how to adjust the time will be much appreciated.

I believe the time is set by the gps system
Mine rolls forward and back automatically , I don’t think you can actually change it manually

First question is do you have the Garmin-based system (AMiI, where the maps are on an SD card), or is it the AMiII or AMiIII where updates are done by the MD at service over the AMDS?

I have AMIII. Not long had the car. It had only done 3,500 hen I bought it in August 2024 so it may not have had any updates. The firmware is 3.0.1 & Base is 1.060 and a recent post indicated that the latest / best Set Up is 3.1.10 & Base 1.107

Ah, OK. I know a bit about the Garmin system but not AMiIII. All I can suggest is perhaps it needs an update

Page 5 of my AMiIII FAQ has the information you require...

(its in the settings menu if I recall correctly)

Please read page1 notes on updates - I would absolutely 100.00% recommend you get your firmware updated. Transforms the stability of the system.

My clock has two little buttons you can poke with a pen. One for forwards, one for backwards

Why can´t he just sell and move on?

App 3.0.1 Base 1.060 is quite old. I had that before (as a result of an erratic "downgrade" by my main dealer back in 2022). It was stable, though, at least I never experienced it crashing. An aspect to consider perhaps.

I got the software update finally done in August 2024 to the then (hopefully) latest:
App 3.1.12
Base 1.108


Used it only once, though, on the way back home - didn´t crash; found it´s way. But then I consider all this overrated kids´ stuff anyway.

The AMi III update certainly was NOT included in the yearly main dealer service scheme over here. After some research they found out they could officially charge me 1h 12min labour ("AMDS operation check, link lead battery conditioner, update software AMi III") resulting in EUR 471,10 (incl. 19% VAT) for it.

Edit: I never experienced any problems with the clock settings in any of the three AMi III versions that I have had so far.

Just checked my AM interface (2017 Vanquish S Volante) and my data matches yours exactly
..and yes AM Cannes charged me for it too..297 Euros... updated in August 2024
I originally asked for them to check and update during the annual service which was a couple of weeks previous - but they didn't do it and they then needed an extra 5 days to do the software update citing they had to check with AM Gaydon and then download the correct version.
