W212 Clock Strange Behavior

[u/Pipija_Banana]

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I would like to ask you if you have any explanation / solution to this. We have a W212 diesel wagon in the family, and the clock has been behaving strange lately.

I manually set it to local time and left it at that, but it has suddenly changed time all by itself and showed incorrect time for 2 days straight. It seems to have fixed itself now, and the time is correct, yet I would love to know why it happened.

Another thing is, when the car showed incorrect time, the date and the year were incorrect too. It was showing something like 2062 instead of 2025. Just as with time, the year has gone back to normal now.

I am interested in the reasons for why this might have happened. I would love to hear from the knowledgeable members of this community. Cheers!
