Pretty awesome write up to explain their journey in it all.

I suspect a bunch of car head units will face new problems in the spring when many Canadian provinces will no longer change their clocks. The units won't get updated DST rules.

Happened to my Mazda the other day. Thankfully it supports just setting the timezone and dst flag manually.

which is mind boggling.

my skoda simply has an entry in the menu: DST? which puts the clock one hour ahead or behind.

This posts remind me that when i will be in the market for a new van i will have to decide to get the trafic or the vivaro, solely on the head unit they use (renault ones have had incredibly stupid design decisions for years, on ergonomics alone, even more in firmware)

		Yep, in my mind this is one of the hallmarks of a well-designed digital desk clock: a 2-position hardware switch for DST on/off.
