The clock on our 2019 Sante Fe is gone as well. Last night it showed the wrong time, and today it's just dashes. Cant find a way to reset. Sounds like a systemic problem.

Yep, last night it showed 26 Feb 2036 about 3:00am but the actual local time was about 5:00pm. I wonder if there was a bad over-the-air system upgrade.

Praise God! I took the simm card, right below the navigation screen, out and let the screen go completely blank. Then I put it back in. When it started back up the clock was working.

My 2017 Tucson also showed dashes today for the time. The support from Hyundai was to read the manual, which we had done. There must be some solar event?

Same thing as everyone else above it seems over the last 20 hours or bit more something went hairy on the software update. Will try the memory card update if not working will bring to dealer on my way to grocery shopping Monday. I honestly can't waste my time stressing on such minial tasks in life. Goes to show us all we are at the mercy on technology whereas you can set a,simple clock on a friggin radio. Amazing. Good luck everyone!

We have a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport and discovered the same issue with the clock dashes as we left for our road trip this morning. Since I had time to fiddle around with it, I was able to figure it out. I hope this works for everyone else! First, I took the SD card out. You’ll find that tucked in a little compartment underneath the touchscreen. Then, I pressed the small reset button (which somehow took me forever to find!) and held that down for about 10 seconds. The (very tiny) reset button on our display is to the right of the CD slot. For those who don’t have a 2017 and this is happening to you, I would just look for any small circle that resembles a reset button and press it. Make sure you keep the SD card out while you’re pressing the reset button. Then, re-insert the SD card and you’ll see the screen go blank for a little while. Ours took about 30 seconds to reboot and then the correct date and time appeared. I hope this works for everyone else! I tried doing the SD removal card without pressing the reset button like other people on here suggested and it wasn’t fixing the issue. So perhaps the magic lies in pressing the reset button while the SD card is out. Good luck everyone!

Update. Yes taking out the memory card and re-inserting it worked. What I did was turn on the car pull the memory card out. Screen goes blank for navigation. Shut the car off inserted memory card and turned the car back on. Did not work first maybe I did it too fast but what I did next with the car still on I did the steps over out then back in after a minute and all is good. So try that. Now I can go back to my Sunday reading.

I had the same issue. Tried the removing and reinserting the sd card with no success. Then I tried removing sd card, go to clock settings, activate GPS time and deactivate DST. Put card back in and clock is back on. Then I went back to clock settings and deactivated GPS time since in the past it has shown me the wrong time for some reason. Hope that works for other people that are still trying to get it to work.

Take out the sim card and hitting the reset button next to the clock and reinsert the sim card and in 30 seconds or so the clock returns. Reset button is very small and you need something like a pencil point to push it in.

Someone (answering another question) said it had something to do with a satellite server. I pushed the reset button (next to the "CD in" button) with the tip of a ballpoint pen, and the clock and date were restored.

Ours did too, yesterday. My husband did everything and still wasn't working. Read on here about the reset button (to the right of CD slot) and worked. Crazy that we all had the same problem,cat the same time.

I pulled the memory card and it reset the clock but the nav buttons are still showing on the left hand side of the screen.

10

Mine also. 2017 Santa Fe. The memory card removal and insertion fixed the issue. If this was and is a problem across many vehicles one would think Hyundai would contact owners with this simple fix. They do not hesitate contacting owners when they want something.

I pulled my SIM card out while the car was off, waited 10 seconds and reinserted, then started the car. The system had to reboot itself one app at a time, and then the clock was working again.

I started car, pulled sim card out so navigation went blank. Backed out of garage. re-inserted sim card. waited about 2 minutes and voila - clock working

Thanks Lee your suggestion. Yes, removed the sim card and re-inserted. Clock works now.

Thank goodness for this thread. I have tried removing the SIM card....nothing....tried reset button...nothing. I will try the 'remove sim card, hit reset button, replace sim card. I hope that works. Thank you all for the help. I was feeling alone until I found this.

Brigette 25's answer was very helpful, but my first attempt didn't work. For the 2nd try, I took out the card, shut the engine off, and did the reset button. THEN, I started the engine, reinserted the card and waited less than a minute. It seems I'm OK now, but I'll check in the morning to be sure. Thanks To Brigette...I'm surprised that Hyundai didn't send out a fix to the owners.

Start your car and let the radio come on. Once on pop the SD card out for a couple of seconds and your radio will go dead. Pop the card back on and after a few minutes everything should load back. first the radio then it will say restarting navigation and then a minute later or so the clock will come back on. It took about 2 - 3 minutes total for mine to reset.

Turn vehicle off. Take out sim card. Wait patiently for three minutes. Insert sim card. Turn on vehicle! It should re-program. Worked for me.

I just went into “setup” and then system update. No need to take SD card out. Update started on its own. Took about 20 minutes. Just make sure car is in the “on” position. Be patient. This worked for me.

I tried this and it worked! Take out the nav sd card and go to setting clock and take off your clock to be at to GPS. Turn off engine. Turn back engine and put in SD card. Let the system restart go back into ur clock setting and turn on ur gps time setting.

Same thing happened to my Hyundai Tucson. I took out the SD card for like a minute. Placed it back in and my screen went black. When it first came back up it still had the dashes. After waiting a few more minutes it worked! Yay! Thanks guys!

With the car & system OFF I removed the SD card. Then I started the vehicle. After the radio, etc. came up I reinserted the card. The screen displayed a message that the SD card had been inserted, then it re-booted (screen went blank and started up again). Once the GPS reconnected the clock was back.

We own a 2017 Sante Fe and a 2015 Genesis. We had service on the Sante Fe this morning and mentioned the problem to the service manager. There were at least 5 other customers with the same problem. Service people did not have a clue. Called Hyundai when I got home, they were clueless as well. So glad I found this site. We'll try removing the SD card and resetting both vehicles.

10

Thanks to all for the suggestions! Tried several but Guru19NJ1 had the sequence that worked on my 2017 Santa Fe Sport. Had to repeat it only once. When I tried other suggestions, the car was in the garage. When I tried the one that worked, the car was in the driveway. Not sure that is important but I'll offer it anyway.

I was into the dealership today - they are aware of the problem and said it will be fixed. I think I tried every suggestion going on the fix and none worked for me. I am hoping the service department is right and it will be fixed. He actually seemed quite surprised when I said there were many fixes on the internet and people were having success fixing.

hi 2016 Tucson Limited with no CD the reset button is left of the sim card slot. Reset worked with card out and then restart car. In my case the entire display of date and time went dark and clock settings were greyed out and not functioning at all. Thanks to all those who posted as was running out of hai to pull out.

hyundai here in Brandon told me to unhook the battery for 10 to 15 minutes .. then it resets.... says it is a satellite feed problem ... they working on it but this has worked on the ones they have done so far today... will try tonight.

same for my 2018 Santa Fe. Will go looking for SD Card slot next and try reset. Thanks for the ideas.

I have a 2016 Sonata Sport. I tried the SD card trick and it didn't work, but this did: I turned the car on, pushed and held the reset button (which was a tiny pinhole sized button to the right of the TUNE knob) for 10 seconds and it worked! Yay, thanks everyone!

My clock also went to all dashes this last weekend after displaying the wrong time and date. Thankfully I found this site and was able to fix it by taking out the memory card waiting a few moments and reinserting it.

So glad I found this thread. This same issue happened last Friday, Aug 16th right after I had my 2017 Tucson Limited inspected. The manual is totally useless. Simply turned off the GPS and removed the SIM card and re- inserted fixed mine. Didn’t have to push the reset button. Sounds like there are multiple fixes that work for different people. Thanks everyone for sharing. Hyundai definitely failed to provide good customer support / service on this widespread issue.

Same issue for me too. 2017 Hyundai Sonata. Went out on Saturday. I called my dealership and they said they are getting flooded with cars. They didn’t have a solution as of now. Said they were waiting on Hyundai to give direction.

I took my 2016 Genesis to the dealer and they told me it was a system update problem for the clocks. They told me it could be a day, it could be a week, it could be a month before it's fixed but when it is fixed all the clocks will automatically he reset to GPS time.

2017 Santa Fe Limited went out on Sunday. Removed SD card while car was off for about 30 seconds. Reinserted and let it reset. Took about 30 sec after reset for clock to come back. Thanks Lee!

My 15 Sonata was scheduled for recall work anyway and I told the deal about the probleh, He eventually did a hard reset by disconnecting its power. (Pulled the fuse I think). Whatever, it worked. He also said that they started getting a bunch of calls across years and models (as here) which was surprising to him.

One of the ideas here fixed mine. My clock read dashes & clock settings were grayed out. I took out sd card for navigation-went to clock in settings-turned car off/turned car on/put card back in & time & date are there now. I too have a 2017 santa fe limited ultimate-(that package comes w/nav & sd card). Also it started to happen 3 days ago & im not connected to bluelink anymore-so i dont get updates. Hoped this helped. Itried taking card in/out 1st & that didnt work for me-so this might work for you-if this didnt work i was going to try the reset button next to cd slot that someone had mentioned.

10

Same thing happened to my 2017 Sante Fe Sport. Tried all kinds of things to fix it but clock settings were dimmed out.. called dealer and they had no idea and told me I would have to make an appt and bring it in. Tried Bridgets tip above and worked, but I had to do it twice and press the reset button. Maybe I didn't wait long enough the first time. Very odd that it happened to so many people and dealerships didnt know about it.

I called local dealer and he said there had been many, many calls with the same problem. He suggested disconnecting the battery which we did. The first try was not successful but the second time we left it longer and now it is all back.

I have the same clock problem with my 2017 Tuscon. Haven't tried anything yet- there are so many ideas out there. One question- I subscribe to satellite radio, does taking the card out at resetting mess that up? Thanks!

2017 Tucson - Time went out Saturday Aug 17th. Followed the advice from here, removed the memory card for about 1 minute and put it back in (with the car running) and it did reset itself. It took a minute or more for the time to show so make sure you're patient.

Thank you Bridget_25. I tried taking out the sad card but it didn’t work. Your suggestion worked the first time! Thank you very much!!!! I can’t believe that everyone is having the same problem at the same time! This is ridiculous!

Remove the SD card tucked in a compartment underneath the touchscreen. My card has a white button that slides down a little way to reset. Slide it down for a few seconds, then slide it back up. After reinserting the SD card and turning the car back on, the time was there - no dashes.

I did what Lee said to do, take the SD card out for the nav data which is directly under screen on my 2018 Santa Fe' Ultimate and I left the card out for a minute an then reinserted it. The screen went blank and that meant the radio was resetting itself, I waited another minute and the time was back. How long it will stay on i don't know.

I tried taking the card out and hitting the reset button and it wasn't working. This time I had the car on, took out the card went into clock settings, turned GPS time on and then off and the time immediately popped up. Put the card back in and everything is fine now.

10

I followed the advice of bridget_25 and it worked on the second try. I probably didn't wait long enough the first time. I have a 2017 Tucson and the reset button is to the left of my SIM card slot. Thanks Bridget, your fix helped the most people.!

2016 Tucson LTD. Clock was on GPS and time switched to Feb 6, 2036. A day later, still wrong. I switched into manual click setting and the clock disappeared from the top of the screen, and the clock settings are all grayed out. Tried resetting. Tried popping and reinserting the card many times. No improvement. Dealer just received a Hyundai email acknowledging the problem (attached). Their fix also failed.

I have a 2017 Tucson. With the car running and in park, I located the SIM card underneath the wide button that says MAPs. I removed the SIM cad for a minute or two, reinserted it, and then (to the left of that card) I used a toothpick to press in the tiny reset button for about 10 seconds. Everything returned to normal - date and clock. Thanks for all the help here - saved me a very time consuming trip to the dealership. Shame on Hyundai for not immediately letting all their customers know what was going on and exactly how to fix it.

This worked for my 2018 Santa Fe, and the reset button is next to the "CD In" button.

This just happened to me as well on my 2017 Santa Fe Sport two days ago. I found out from my local dealer that it was caused by a SiriusXM update. I submitted a refresh with SiriusXM and problem solved!

I followed the instructions as noted above from the Hyundai dealer and it worked! I tried numerous times while in my garage and nothing seemed to help. Once I saw that you should be outside and I moved my car out of the garage, the instructions worked perfectly!

I hag same problem with my 2019 Tuscon. I pulled simm card and reinserted while ignition was on. Now works

Same thing happened to me 3 days ago - no clock! I have a 2016 Tucson - my fob also stopped working (but that could be a battery thing). I'll try the solutions above. Thank you

Informed by Hyundai that there were GPS issues that have been resolved. I removed my SIM card and started vehicle. Reinserted SIM to force GPS system reboot. Had to repeat twice to get date and time to return and remove dashes.

Tried the sd card to no avail. Disconnected the negative on battery for a moment, tightened back up and started my Santa Fe and clock was back. Hope this helps those that tried other solutions that did not work for them. Slick

I have tried every option listed and am ready to give up. I cannot even count the # of times i have taken the SD card out, pressed the restart/reset button, done it with car on, car off, out in the open, I even yanked the black battery cable and let it sit and then reconnected. Even the dealership picture above with steps. Nothing has worked. The GPS itself will show the correct time to get to a destination, but my clock screen is still grayed out and cannot deselect any options or adjust the time so the top of the screen still reads --:--

Finally I fixed it as described above, but I had to disconnect the blutooth, turn off the air condition and pull the CD disc out. then worked.

I spoke to the dealer yesterday (I have a 2017 Tucson) and they told me that there is an issue with the hyundai satellite dish that is servicing all of our clocks and should automatically fix itself within the next 2 weeks after there is some software update. Hope that helps.

Tried all of the suggestions and nothing worked until I took the car out of the garage and did a system update using the existing card. That worked for me.

Hey all! Apparently there was a satellite date that went wrong and to rectify the problem is simple. Open your car hood, remove the negative battery wire for about 10sec and then put it back then the next step would be to remove the memory card on your dash for 10sec as well and your clock should work as new!

Service tech opened door below driver left knee, said there is a little on/off switch which you move to middle position. (ON is on the bottom; OFF at top). Let Navigation system reset itself and then turn switch back to ON. Clock now works.

I had mine in at the dealers today. They fixed mine by disconnecting the battery. He said that is the fix they had from Hyundai. Mine now works with this method.

2017 Santa Dr Ultimate Tech. -- -- for clock. Only GPS line active in Settings. Pulled the Nav SD, held reset for over 10 sec, waited for system to come up. No clock. Put AS back in. Waited for Nav to reset screen. No clock. Held reset for over 10 sec. System came up with clock. Checked settings: only GPS line active. Shut down. Restarted 10 minutes later: No clock. :(

I tried Bridget’s method and 10 other combos. What worked in my 2017Tucson was to turn off my Bluetooth and hit reset. The time popped right back.

Yes-- removing the SIMM card and shutting off car. Restarted Car put Simm Card back in and it is now working

I had the same problem; taking the sd card out, resetting and reinserting sd card worked for me at least for now! This thread was very useful. thanks a lot guys!

Same issue. I tried taking the SIMM card out and putting it back in, after the system reset, still all dashes. I then drove around the block, taking the SIMM card out while driving and just before I pulled in my driveway put it back in. Within seconds my clock was back to normal.

I called the dealer. They said that it was a bad update that went out. They're working on a reset for all vehicles. I'll try the steps listed in the thread. Thanks y'all!

The Hyundai memo provided by hughjarvis above (search for it) works. Follow the instructions carefully (including car outside for good GPS signal) and be patient at each step.

I have a 2015 Sonata and still can get my clock back. Have tried the SD card reset. The software cycles but no change. I have found the reset button (pin hole to the right of the radio) and have tried that alone and with the SD card reset. Nothing. When posting, please include your model and year. I think that matters. Where do you get the files to update the software? Everything points to the Hyundai site but once there, they say to have a dealer do it.

2017 Santa Fe. Clock was showing --:-- for the past few weeks. Just removing, waiting, reinserting SD card did not help. Tried many times, with car on/off, and different wait times. The thing that did fix it for me was to turn on the car and keep it on. Then remove the SD card, wait for system to get back and stable, hit reset button, wait for system to get back and stable, reinsert SD card, wait for system to get back and stable. Date and clock then came back on within seconds.

I removed the sim card, and put it right back. The time started working correctly. Thank u

after a frustrating couple of months, I found this string of suggestions. I started my car, popped out the SD card, turned off my Tucson, waited about 1 minute. started my car, popped in the SD card and waited for everything to reboot. it worked. I can now get rid of the stick on clock that I had purchased. I had tried the reset button more than 3 different times nothing. I guess it just needed a HARD reboot. thanks everyone

I have 2019 Sante Fe. My clock went out today and the setting button grayed out. I found a small reset button below the left volume knob. When I pushed it, my display reset and the clock and setting function started working again.

Hi, I have Santa Fe 2015 and the date set back to Jan 2000 after Service at Hyundai in Dubai. I managed to set the time, however, there is no option to set the date to the correct date. Dealer said that GPS map on SD card has to be updated but Hyundai is not providing this now :( .

Hi, Yes, I turned GPS time off but in my car, there is no option for the Date but only time there.
