Advent uses the system time in Windows CE, which is where the bug exists.

 

But yes, I agree, it should use iGo as the time source, since that should be current anytime there is a connection to two or more GPS satellites.

 

 

Microsoft will never fix an issue with Windows CE. CE is at least 3 generations old now. Maybe Advent can port this to Windows Mobile or Windows Phone 7?

I'm with everyone else here. I've tried every different combination I can think of and cannot get the correct time to show....

 

 

 

Leave iGo to do it's thing automatically. Turn off automatic time in Advent's menu and set your time zone for one ahead of you. So if you're on central time (I think Louisania is at least) then set it for eastern.

This is a "fix", but for Advent to not have a solution and post a software update to this problem by now is frustrating and ridiculous. For the amount of money paid for such a system this glitch should not be happening.

Sorry for the delay, but it's not really an Advent problem - it's a WinCE problem. New firmware is slated for next week.

The daylight savings change happened 5 years ago, and MS released a fix for it in early 07. If the Advent could be setup to allow active syn with your pc, you would be able to apply the fix. How long has the Advent OGM1(and the other versions) been around?

An issue that takes 3 minutes to work around is "frustrating and ridiculous"?

 

I'd hate to see how you'd react to an actual problem in life if that is the case.

 

Sorry but I don't feel at all cheated out of what I paid for the unit because of this. Small details like this are more than offset by the added functionality of the deck over everything else out there.

Mike, you don't know me so please don't judge me and how I deal with life - I handle things just fine. There are 3 pages on this topic, and this was my first post on the topic so I don't think I was the only person with a complaint. Now that Walt clarified that it is a Windows issue and not an Advent issue that makes things more clear. I never said I feel cheated and I agree with you, the functionality of this deck is great (except for the clock issue which is Bill Gates fault :P )

I believe it’s an Advent issue as Microsoft has a patch out for this very issue that started a while back when the dates for Daylight Savings time. Where I work we use Windows CE and XP Embedded on thin clients and they have the same issue with the time change . The issue is resolved by applying Microsoft’s Daylight Savings Time Patch. So yes, it is a windows issue but it’s up to advent to release a patch in its firmware update to resolve the issue or they can let us complain a few weeks until the OGM1 changes to the correct time anyway.

I would prefer Advent creating a menu option to access the operating system so the end user can simply apply updates or hotfixes from MS. The fix for this was released by MS 5 years ago. Advent should have applied the fix to the operating system 5 years ago.

Since this unit is just now celebrating its first birthday, I understand it's the first time anyone saw the problem as it wasn't available last year at this time (we sold our first unit on April 20, 2011). If they knew it was an going to be a problem, I guarantee they would have been scrambling to solve it last year instead of getting hit with it now.

 

Having said this, I can guarantee everyone in this forum that if a clock setting was the biggest issue I had to deal with on other manufacturer's units, I would be a VERY happy camper indeed...

Walt, Please let us know when the update comes out. I still can't get mine to set to the right time for more than 5 minutes.

Did the workaround I described not work?

Id have to go back through and look. I tried a few different things besides the one that works with the iGo turning off the auto setup.

Don't touch iGo, leave it at auto. Go into the Advent setup menu and set your time zone for 1 ahead (east) of your location. If your're on eastern time, use atlantic.

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Deadwood · Posted

      I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By swathdiver · Posted

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
