Wow... just noticed minetoday! First it said that it was Feb 9, 2036 w/reg am/pm time. I was able to adjust date by turning off GPS time. Then I turned GPS time on again. Went to do something and restarted car, now it's just --:-- and I'm unable to set time or date!

Okay first I wanna say thank y’all so much for sharing your experiences! I seriously thought I broke something bc the time just disappeared. I just went outside and tried the SD Card trick and it worked! I broke a nail but I don’t even care!! I’m so pumped! If there is ever anything else that happens by random on your Hyundai Tucson or Hyundai period, I’d love to hear about it!! Thanks again everyone!!

Hey! So I have a Hyundai Tucson Limited and mine is located right beneath the seek/track buttons. It’s underneath the protection flap it says SD Map if I’m not mistaken. Once you get to it, push it in and it pops out. I tried to just pull mine out and realized that’s wrong lol

Mine started doing the same thing yesterday! At least that’s when I noticed it. I couldn’t get it to display or reset at all, even turning gps off and back on. I just tried the sd card and it worked. I had to turn the car off before I removed and reinserted the card. It didn’t work otherwise. Odd.

The sd card is located under the slot that says sd map, between the blue link and info buttons. There is a tab underneath you can pull out on. The card is underneath.

Tried twice and second time it worked.. How the heck were we to know the sd card was there. Thanks so much. The manual was useless. Our next step was to go to the dealership. Who knows what they would have told us. Again, Thank you, Thankyou!!

My time display does the same but my car when turned off want start then I play with the shift lever and the switch then it starts anybody had that with the switching display did it three times today one time after turning it off the door wouldn’t lock
