Does anyone know if you can adjust an in dash clock to run faster or slower?
The one in my Toyota seems to have slowed down over the years (even with a
new battery) and I'm tired of having to move it up 5 minutes every day.
Certainly there must be a way to set it. Any ideas?

The problem seems to stem from "jump-starting" another automobile.
During the procedure, the clock receives a surge which ruins it
for life. The older the time piece, the higher the probability
that the clock can't take the excitement. Only the higher quality
auto clocks are able to handle the surge; and live to time it.
