Does anyone else have an issue where the date keeps resetting to 1/1/2000 when you start the car? I tried charging it using the usb cord overnight, and then putting it back in, and it was ok, but the next day, it showed 1/1/2000. It is connected to the car power and it turns on/off with the car.

These things are garbage. They are a cheap rip off the brand you think your buying when you buy these e-prance ones from amazon. I was under the impression that e-prance was just the vendor or store name. You have to be careful of cheap imitations on Amazon.

My USA630 has problems with the USB also. The radio will play a while and then lock up with an error 01-100 (or something like that). Sometimes just shutting the unit off for a few seconds will make it work again for a little while but at other times I have to remove the USB and leave it off a while before replacing it. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't. I plan to get rid of the unit completely this winter. This is a replacement for the first one and it's not worth the aggravation.

I just had an issue with mine not charging. It got to zero and when I rebooted with it plug into the USB charger, I could see the little lighting bolt on the battery indicating it was trying to charge, but it shut off because of low batter. Kind of a Catch-22. I tried this cycle a few times and was fed up, so I decided to unplug it and let it 'die down' for half a day. Then I plugged it back in and the screen showed me that it was charging! I let it charge up for a few hours and it started up and continued to charge. If you are having charging issues, try letting it run out and "die", then plug it in. Worked for me, YMMV. I just had an issue with mine not charging.

My unit works great , i use it every day. I would hook it up and charge it completely. I do not remember how but there is a reset to factory setting process. Also google the issue and you may find an answer, there are so software updates available for it.

Everything seems to be fine with mine,no problems at all. You might try unplugging it for a minute and then plug it back up,see if anything resets.

Left mine playing its games until it was "Dead" flat. Rapid charged it via usb until it said it was full and then reset the time and date. Its behaved perfectly since!!! Odd but it seems to have worked! Good luck to all :0)

Date stamp on mine was only 2 months before I got it. Of course, that didn't stop the battery from dying 2 months later. Will no longer hold a charge longer than a few days. If I don't drive the car for a week, it's dead. Not "won't crank the engine" dead, but "won't even light the dash lights" dead. And Amazon won't even let me modify my review.

Never had that situation with mine. Use it 4 to 5 days a week. Take it off my belt at home don't reset it until morning and always has the previous numbers showing. If I am sitting for half hour at lunch break it is still on. Had min almost a year, no problems very pleased.

I bought mine in August 2011 and my clock would hold the correct time for a few days, maybe a week, but then it would be off anywhere from 1 1/2 hours to 24 hours. I called Toshiba customer support, he led me through the "fix" and now it works perfect. The solution was very simple - I needed to turn off the "auto" setting. Other than the clock issue, mine has been excellent and does everything it's supposed to do. I would also recommend it - it's much easier to use than my Panasonic which does basically the same things this one does.

Add me to the list - not sure when it started, a few weeks ago we noticed it b/c we charged it and then it was dead. Figured it got bumped in wife's purse or hadn't charged long enough but now I've been trying to charge it and see the on/off cycling going on. No answer, just sympathy and hope for a fix!

I agree with what's been posted. I'd like to get it for a gift for someone, but have several unanswered questions. How long does it retain it's charge? How many times can it be used before being recharged (ie, can it jump start your car twice on the same day)? Does it have to be recharged by plugging it into a wall outlet, or can it be recharged though the car's cigarette lighter when the car is running normally (ie, the reverse of what it does to jump start the car)? Anyone know this stuff? :)

Our car (Nissan Leaf) has the timer. You tell the car when it needs to be ready. For example, my wife just got home and plugged in the car. It is not charging. It will kick on at some point in the middle of the night and the car will be ready when she leaves at 6AM. The charger cannot be programmed. I hope this helps.

Send it back before your 30 days are up! The same thing happened to me. It did not work right out of the box, but I didn't get it sent back in time.

Im on my second one,the first one worked like a charm,the second one not so well. Try taking the batteries back out,unhook both ends of cord,reinstall batteries then reconnect the cord and try to calibrate,if it does the same thing leave it and pull car out,wait to see if it stops flashing. If it does,then pull car in and see if it works properly. Mine acted weird then all of a sudden it started to work properly after a few days and has worked correctly ever since...hope this helps

I've never had a problem with mine. I just leave it plugged in all the time why my car sits. For a few days to a week in the Northeast climate. I unplug it before I start my car. WFP
