Hyundai

Goget, my local car sharing outfit, has an eclectic taste in cars. But I would say there is a definite penchant for Hyundai’s and i30’s in particular. The i30 is the ‘fast-food’ effort of the auto-world. It’s well built to a price, but it’s not driver’s car. In fact it handles like a fridge on wheels. But mostly it works. Mostly.

For the last few months I have noticed that not one of Goget’s i30”s has had the right time on the internal clock. And, trying to correct this, I found out why. I couldn’t figure out how to change the time, nor could anyone else, especially considering that the manuals have been removed.

Now I am pretty good techie so I tried every hidden combo known to mankind. Eventually I gave up and Googled it on the run and it turns out that, while the radio is on, you have depress the power button for a few seconds and then a very complex menu pops up. Now, who in their right minds would have thought that one up?
