    After my 25k service it seems the timer scheduler when the square button is pressed/held flashes at 7am. When i press the H button the hour advances to 12am then closes. I want to start the charge at 12am and finish at 5AM. The timer windows closes when i move the finish hour to 12am and then my regular clock hour changes. Does anyone know if this is a problem or am i doing something wrong? It used to be when i pressed/held the timer button the start time would show at 12 am and after setting it would go to the finish hour

    You can set a start time OR a finish time, but not both.

    It took me quite a while to figure this out. Unlike pretty much all other consumer devices which have timers, the PiP does not implement a start/end interval model (turn on at the start time, turn off at the end time). Instead, you can set either the time when charging will start, and it will stop when charging is complete. Or you can set an end time, and it will start charging at the time when it thinks that charging will be completed by the specified end time. Not sure what drug the engineers were on when they came up with this absolutely counter-intuitive behavior.

    The behavior is different than when i first got the car. It allowed me to set start time first then finish time. I will try setting start time again and see if it makes a difference

    You can set both the start and finish times.
    But, you can only activate one of them.
    If you select "start" then charging will start at that time. If you select "finish", charging will start approx 3 hours earlier than the finish time you had set.

    The Japanese have severe punishment for possession of cannabis. As in years in prison for a few grams.
