I was led to believe that the clock on the 2013 Rapide was meant to automatically synchronise with the sat nav clock. However, this is not the case and I cannot find a way of manually adusting it. Any thoughts?

Does your model have the analogue clock? If so it happens from time to time on all models with the analogue clock. Ask your dealer at the next service and they can move the hands to be back in sync.

Well that sucks. And I doubt that anyone at HR Owen has such knowledge. There must be another way, surely?

If it's anything like the DB9.2 then you cannot adjust it manually. Like you say it synchronises itself with the sat nav time. However I find it drifts quite quickly and they no longer match. Only way to resynch is to remove the power (fuse). Not sure which fuse it is, as my dealer always does this at service time. Apparently the only perma fix is a new updated clock. I'll stick to resetting the power.

I just found this: "The post about disconnecting the wiring harness in the tunnel is right. Was just at the dealer and asked the service manager who was very helpful and showed me how to do it. It's on the passenger side - just pull back the carpet that tucks up under the tunnel, towards the front of the car just where it arches over to the glovebox and dash. There are several harnesses pinned up against the tunnel there - it's the furthest towards the back of the car of the group, larger gray colored connector. Unseat it from its holder and then just unplug it for a few seconds and plug it back in. Also resolved a problem I was having dialing my phone via the steering controls. No other negative impact ie. lost radio stations or other affects."

When it stops raining I will give it a go.
