OK this is dumb and I hate myself for having to ask. I have the regular stock radio on my Pat (no touchscreen). I know how to change the hours but how do I change the minutes? I've read the instructions and I can't get it to work. thanks!

You can download the manual for free from Jeep.com. I just had to do this a couple days ago for the first time. Mine updated for DST automatically. Must be something with the sat radio, but the minutes were 5 off. Might have been like that right off the lot.

I have to change the time on a regular basis...
I thought it was strange when I picked up the Pat, the sales guy told someone to make sure it's topped up with gas and the time is adjusted. But a few months later, it gets behind by about 2-3 minutes every month.

So you push the "tune" knob, but it doesn't switch to the minutes?
Sounds like you might have a defective radio.
Does it work when you are in radio mode? (push the knob to select bass,treble, etc.)

Mine switches from summer to winter time automaticaly!! It did the same on my Caliber ( I hope the Avenger is the same ) I think the UK Spec Radio is RDS & the clock is connected to the Atomic Clock. Just as we can get watches & DVD/Video players that do the same .

I have a weird thing happens every few weeks or so. Without any warning the clock changes to read 20:16. No other time, and no matter what time of the day it really is. Out of the blue, 20:16. It stays like that for about twenty minutes then changes back to the proper time.

2-3 mins. off a month..that s great, better than my TAG..
When I got mine the time was off by a few minutes and it didn't adjust for summer time by itself. The fix was to go in to the radio settings and change the home time to the RDS setting. The clock is now spot on. (This works in Scotland but I don't know about other countries.)

ok I fixed it. It says that you first have to change the hours and then push the tune button to change the minutes. Well since my hour was fine, after it started blinking I would push the tune dial and the minutes never blinked.
Well last night I changed the hour up one hour and then back down to the original hour and when I pushed the tune dial the minutes started blinking.
So you have to move the hours in order to fix the minutes.

Before deciding on purchasing my Patriot, I knew I would be swapping out the stereo in it, if I purchased it. I set my Pat's clock when I got it on the 31st of March; set to local radio station's announcement. By the 11th of April it was over 11 minutes behind. I just dealt with the time loss for 2 weeks until I got my old trusty radio installed (Clock syncs with Sirius now).
God...all of you missed the original question. I own two 2012 Jeep Patriots 4x4's and I also can not get to change the minutes on either of my 2 Patriots. As soon as the hour setting is available, and I can adjust the hour setting, but as I continue to hold in the "time" button waiting for the blinking hour to change to the blinking minutes, the process cancels and what you see is what you get for time. My 2 Patriots are over 20 minutes off. There is no way to adjust the minutes in the Jeep Patriots models, period! Oh yeah, if you make the reply to press the tune button after changing the hour setting, pressing the tune button cancels the whole procedure.
These 2 Jeeps have a suggested list price of 29K and the clowns who designed this function must have done so in the afternoon on a "Liquid Lunch Friday". Now If I could only figure out what afternoon it was when those clowns where working on the "acceleration" function of the fuel design. Sooner or later someone is going to lose their life when trying to step on the gas peddle to get out of the way of a truck traveling at 50mph or so before it hits them. The acceleration in these 2.4L Jeep Patriots are terrible.

Go tot he 2nd post and read that. Dont hold the time button after the time starts blinking. Release and adjust the hour by turning the tune button. Then click the tuning button and turn it again to adjust the minutes. then just wait 5 or so seconds and it should read the correct time.
