TIME/DATE not correctly set on Alfa Romeo 159 SW JTDm 8V when using MES v3.5

Good morning,

the firsti thing I do in order to check that things are properly working whenever I upgrade MES is a simple TIME/DATE setup using the right ELM327 interface with the green adapter.

Well, a few days ago I upgraded v3.2 -> v3.5 and tried, but date was erroneously set to 2099!!!
I then returned to v3.2, and the time/date adjustement operation was successfull, so I suppose that v3.5 is sending erroneous data to the BCM.
These are the logs I took a few days ago with v3.5 as well as with v3.2 (but also some months ago with v3.2, when all was working fine).

Thank you in advance for the analysis.

Good morning,

this post wasn't answered yet, and I'd like to know if this issue has been resolved on v3.6 or not.
I'm actually using former v3.2 because I'm afraid that this strange bug on v3.5 affecting Alfa 159 Jtdm 8V may be not alone (and this may be harmful to my car BCM), but I'd like to use new v3.6 so let me know.

Thank you in advance for your answer,

Pietro

Hi guys, thank god I've found this thread. I've tried changing date/time on MES 4.0, 3.8 and... its' changing with 2099.
It's driving me crazy, what a f**** crap! I will try with 3.2 version then.
Thank you!!!!!!
