Ah, the $2.00 Chinese copy of a Taiwanese imitation Timex, add a Corvette logo, and sell for $99.00

Set your clock to Zulu time, it is never wrong. Then all you need to do is subtract your time zone hours from it. Example: Zulu Time - 5 hours = Eastern Standard Time. Set your clock to the 24 hr setting, makes the math easier

They integrated the Flux Capicator into a chip in the radio now but it was only available on the 3LT on up cars......Sorry.

As everyone has figured out, the car clock needs to be reset manually. Your cell phone is automatic because the time is sent from the nearest cellphone tower.

What no one has mentioned is that you need to set your C6 clock twice- once for driver 1, then punch the memory button on the door for driver 2 and set the clock again.

My wife and I are sometimes on different wavelengths in the car, but never in different time zones.

For the 2K11 model year the Flux Capacitor was upgraded to the Oscillation Overthruster from Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems.

Unfortunately with this option installed your clock will enter a countdown mode, with zero hour being somewhere around Dec. 21, 2012.

Tinfoil is your only salavtion.

If it has NAV the procedure is different. With ignition on go to the music notr under the source button with radio off. Touch the clock icon at the middle bottom of the screen. The rest will be self explanatory or just look under nav in your manual and look for time.

Hit either the hr or min button until it flashes, then hit your tuning **** once to toggle through am/pm or military time.

This information was not in the 2005 owner's manual, but it was in 2006 and later ones. AFAIK, it's still in the newer manuals, but I've not looked.

You can do a search on the internet for whatever year owners manual you want and it will come up in total. I use it all the time to keep from pulling out my owners manual from the rear storage bin since it is a tight fit for the glove compartment. Keep in mind that if you have Nav you must set it with the satellite having a view of the sky, And you must set it every 6 months as it is not like a mobile phone and set itself.
