I have a minor complaint about our sophisticated, integrated systems. I no longer bother to wear a watch because my cell phone clock is more accurate with less maintenance. At Daylight Savings time of year, I don't have to adjust my cell phone, it does it for me. Is that too much to ask of my Onstar-cell phone-stereo? To just give accurate time of day, and make automatic adjustments? Onstar has asked me to renew for $18 a month, I don't think I will.

 

Other than using the speakers and sharing the XM antenna, Onstar has nothing to do with your radio. Could it? Maybe someday.

 

OnStar displays distance and directions on my radio display when I use turn by turn. It also displays phone numbers and minutes available when I use the hands free calling. Sounds like a decent amount of integration to me or at least enough to change a clock for DST

 

Then I want the cable company to update my TV/DVD clocks too. They also display.

 

I have a 8 yr old VCR (that never gets used) that does update automatically from the Cable Co.

You GO Brad!~. I love the Onstar/XM and it's mine to do so. At least GM has made setting the clock about as easy as starting the car. Push a button, turn a knob and you're done. People dont seem to need much of a reason to complain.
I will renew my Onstar. It has way too many positives in my book not to.

 

i was wondering about that too. my wife's standard clock radio in our bedroom sets itself...

my cable box does it self too though, i thought they all did.

 

it is a minor issue considering how easy it is to set. The problem is remembering to actually do it!

 

I think my cable box gives me the option of displaying time or the channel, I prefer the channel so I have no idea if it updates with DST. I was speaking only of my TV and my DVD player in a tongue in cheek way.

My cell phone and my computer are the only things I own that update themselves. I guess I don't buy the better equipment that does it for you. I haven't upgraded my 15 year old clock radio either since it still tells me the time when I look at it. I have no problem doing it myself though.

FYI: A little trivia answer for everyone. It's Daylight Saving Time not Daylight Savings Time
