Anyone else having issues with the date & time on their Goldwing? 4/5 months ago I noticed the time was wrong, tried adjusting the time and noticed the date was October 1999!! If you try adjusting the time/date they both revert back to October 1999…
I have 2012 C
This issue is affecting lots of older model GPS units. The Navi unit in the Goldwing is an older unit made for Honda by Garmin.
Heres what Garmin say about it –
“Support Center
GPS 15 Date is Incorrect
We’ve identified an issue with this product that causes the date to be wrong after the GPS Rollover on April 6th, 2019. However, all functions not dependent on date and/or time will continue to work normally. Due to the age of the device we have determined we will not fix this issue.
What does that mean for my Garmin?
o The date determined by the GPS will be wrong
o Position, velocity, navigation, and all other functionality not dependent on date and/or time will continue to work normally
What is GPS Week Rollover?
The GPS satellite system communicates the date via a week number that is limited to 1024 weeks (about 20 years). On April 6th, 2019 the week numbers broadcast by the satellites will “rollover” to zero. If GPS receivers don’t account for this rollover in their software, it will calculate the wrong date and/or time.”

Happily I have a new (old) Wing … Sadly I no longer have an onboard Sat Nav 🙁
I never had date Issues on my 2013 Bike but did have the instructions and display regularly turning to Dutch !!
It was amusing / entertaining the first time and then really flippin annoying ! I was going to phone Nettie for translations 🙂
I deleted all the languages on the system apart from UK English which cured it 🙂

This means you may notice the screen switching to night time mode (darker background etc) at the wrong time of day because even though the time may display correctly the date of the time clock is out of sync. eg it thinks its autumn when its still summer months.
Otherwise the Navi should work OK 🙂
