Default Aliens have take over my ride

Hopped in my RS1 xD and noticed the odometer was showing on the dash - I leave it on the average MPG all the time. I cycled through the modes and my trip odometers are at zero then I notice the clock is an hour off.

Anyone else have this issue. Is it aliens? Was my car abducted? :D

Battery is on securely and I haven't messed with it recently.

What's up with my ride?

By the way, if you lost power temporarily, your radio will revert back to tC mode. Both times I went to the dealership, they did not set the radio back to xD, so it sounded like crap when I left. I'm not sure they even know about the car-type setting... because the car was set to tC when I bought it.

I'm assuming these pioneer units came out for the tC far before they did for the xD's, so I'm sure they were originally created with the intent of being set to tC as a standard, and dealers cant be bothered to change every single setting on every car.

just my o'z lol

Yeah, but I'd bet they don't even know about the setting. Some dealerships do, I'm sure... but I don't think mine does. And it is ONE setting... not a bunch of them. As far as I know, that is the only setting that the dealership is supposed to change on the xD and the xB which is model-specific.
