Does anyone know how to set the DATE on the display?
Here are some pictures, but no place to set the date.
Today is August 1 and the display shows Aug 2. I think it has always been a day ahead.

Mine is off by a day also. Couldn't figure out how to change it.

Old, old thread but for anyone searching, the Sync 3 does not have a place to change the date, only the time.

Supposedly it will eventually update when paired to your phone but mine hasn't in the last 1,000 miles (6 months).

I've tried turning Wi-Fi, in the truck, on and off and no luck. My truck can "see" my home's modem but never does an update via Wi-Fi.

I believe the dealership can do it via a laptop connected, but my dealership has yet to do it.

I also have not done a master rest or disconnected the battery, that's next on my list after I jot down my radio presets ....

To reset it. you have to drive, backward, into yesterday.
Once it reset's to yesterday, you then have to drive, BACKWARD into today !!!!

Yeah, but that means I repeat everything I did yesterday too!

And that means I'm gonna order more 303 stuff! And I don't know if @AzScorpion's wheelbarrow can handle that extra $$$. =D

You only have to get back to 11:59 pm, yesterday....won't have enough "yesterday" time to repeat anything or buy anything...you just want to go back far enough to reset the date.
Also, you have to "literally" drive backward....in reverse. to make it work. Driving forward into a backward date won't work !!!
Make sure you don't go to far back into yesterday's yesterday...if you then drive backwards to the next day, you'll still be in todays yesterday !!!
