As above - any ideas? The analogue clock seems to jump up by 10 mins every couple of weeks or so - does not run faster than 10 mins - 10 mins is the max it jumps I mean....anyone?

The electronic clock is synchronised to the GPS, the dash clock is not and is only as good as it electrical movement. I doubt it is repairable as such, it's hardy a horological timepiece of note

Mine did this and I went into the settings and you can tell it to use manual time or automatic synchronised with the radio, when I did this, the clock whirled and reset the time automatically, on my previous cars I has a similar thing where the clock was synchronised with the radio, can't remember if my 911 is, but I think so.

IIRC although the QP was on Automatic, I changed it to manual and saved then went back to auto and the clock whirled round to the correct time.

My analogue clock has a separate setting button underneath the dial so they run independently so are never quite synched

QP clock on dash moves itself and spins all the way round to reset itself and it feels like a Quantum leap moment as the hours just wind on by!

Hmm I'll have a look in the settings tomorrow morning but mine also has an independent button below the analogue clock to move the time......

Must be an enhancement with newer models. Ability to manually correct the dash clock because it can't keep time with the internal digital one, even though it sets itself when you change the digital clock! Go figure. You'd have thought it would be easier to program it to readjust once a day or something rather than adding a manual adjustment!
