The sat nav time and the time shown on the car clock are about 2 minutes out of sync.

Can anyone tell me how to correct this, is it as simple as pulling a fuse or something to stop the clock until they are at the same time.

If I change the sat nav to UTC the clock moves back an hour, but it is still a couple of minutes out of sync.

The clock is automatically adjusted by the sat nav, there is no manual method of changing it.

The handbook says that fuse 2 in the front fuse box is for the Aston Martin tracking system / Clock but the clock still runs with the fuse pulled, so it isn't that fuse.

My sat nav has been the wrong time since I got my car. I asked the AM technician that did some work on my car last time it was in and he didn't know either?!
I am looking forward for the responses......

My sat nav is at the correct time, but the car dash clock is three minutes fast. However, the car dash clock is controlled by the sat nav

Iv seen this a few times, if you can disconnect the battery for a few seconds. This will sort it

Thank you Astontec1 for the advice, the battery disconnect has fixed the problem for me.

I didn't even loss the radio settings only had to do the window reset.

I wonder how it manages to get out of sync in the first place? I have never used the sat nav but I had noticed the car clock was fast, it was only yesterday evening playing with turning the clocks back I discovered from the handbook that the sat nav controls the clock.
