Infotainment system clock not working

[Charon]

After a cold spell I noticed that the infotainment clock was reading 0:00 while the dash clock and dials clock read the correct time. I noticed that occasionally it will flash the time 6:28 for a fraction of a second and then revert to 0:00.
I have seen reports of this clock being out of sync by a second or two (which I think is normal) but can't find any reports of this.

Does anyone have any ideas?

This exact issue has happened to me today showing 0.00 then flashes to 6.28 for a split second! 2016 1.4 GT

Intrigued to know if you have found a fix to this - have tried hard reset of head unit and resetting clock time but still having the same issue

No luck. I thought it might be a voltage issue (you can get odd things happen if the voltage is low) but my battery is within tolerance.
Odd they both read 6:28. It must mean something.

Very strange that it's happened in the same week for both - also can't seem to find any reports of the same issue online.

Have also checked my battery voltage and it's fine. Please do update if you find a fix

Actually seems to be a well known issue across various VW 2015/2016 models. Looks like it could be a software issue but not seen anyone post a fix yet

Great job finding that.
