On the MB, the auto DST function is tied to the Nav system through the GPS signals - and hence why it would also change the clock with the timezone if you were traversing from east to west or vice versa.

There is a slight annoyance issue with this system in that I cannot fine tune the clock - I'm ALWAYS late so I'd like to advance the clock in the car by a few minutes but it's not possible with this system, one can only set the time in 1/2 hour increments.

My Benz does not have nav. Never bothered me to manually change the clock on both cars. Just took a few clicks to change it on both cars. Heck, it takes longer to change the time on my microwave, coffee maker, oven and wall clocks but it was never an annoyance. Just a part of life.

I agree that it is certainly not a big deal, but the truth is that most of the devices in my home which have a clock, adjust themselves automatically.
Some have their own "table", some simply sync with what's in the air (like a clock which syncs time with an atomic clock in Frankfurt.
There are 2 clocks in my household I need to manually set every DST change: an old battery operated wall clock and the BMW.. :-)
My Computers, Cell phones, House phone, Microwave, alarm clock, heating thermostat, X10 home automation device, they all take care of this by themselves. If none would do it, the 5 second excersize would certainly look different.....
