Thanks! This was very helpful as I had the same problem. I had some difficulty figuring out the setdate format since I just assumed it was the usual seconds since the unix epoch but I think have it figured out. It looks to be MMDDHHSSYYYY but with overflow enabled so that month 16 makes it 04 but with one year added to the year (same for hours etc). My DXG now has the current date and time to within a couple of minutes on it.
