I-Drive Clock

I did a search, and couldn't find anything on this issue. My 2007 4.8 constantly makes me re-set the clock (time and date) every morning. It happens at various times during the day as well. I put my battery charger on the truck overnight, thinking that this was the issue.

Has anyone had similar experience? I'm planning on taking it back to the dealer sometime soon, but wasn't sure if there was some I-drive setting that I'm missing.

TIA!

Are your radio stations being reset as well or are those still in memory?

Here's where it gets strange. Radio stations, and user/driver profiles remain unchanged. Bluetooth phones programmed remain unchanged.

Just the clock, date, and immediate OBC features re-set to zero. The trip odometer goes to zero as well.

I get this too, but only after the vehicle has been sitting unused for about 3 days.

For me it's daily. I suspect that the battery might be bad.
