Clock Time Doesn't Match CarPlay Time

[ECal]

Does anyone know why the clock at the top bar doesn't adopt the CarPlay time when it is connected? My wife pointed out that the time shown in CarPlay doesn't always match the onboard clock and now I can't un-see it. In all of my other vehicles I've never run into this issue.

Has anyone else noticed this, and is there a workaround?

A difference in the clock time between what your truck is set to and what your phone thinks the time is?

I haven't noticed because I never use carplay (but then, I also wear a tinfoil ball cap when I drive my truck).
