JVC is the brand of the in-car after-market "radio" which I never use
as a radio, but almost entirely use as a bluetooth interface from my
phone to the car's speakers.

The manual states "The clock time is automatically set using the Clock
Time (CT) data in FM Radio Broadcast Data System signal"

The manual makes no other mention of this feature.

I found this:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Data_System>

But as I said, it does not appear to actually work.
