Would it be possible to change the clock.
« on: October 18, 2018, 08:24:38 PM »

G'day all,

Would it be possible to change the clock in the forfour to 12 hour instead of the annoying 24 hour it is now as we here are not used to the American army setup, we go by AM and PM.
Yesterday I rushed home as i thought it was after 3 o'clock but it was only after 1 o'clock,  ok ok i know i had an extra 2 hours to spare but that's not what i'm after.
It would be nice if it can be changed.
Please let me know.
Greetings,
Eddie.

It is but you need a STAR machine to do it.

I’m pretty sure you can change it in the settings once the car is not moving

I’m sure I’ve seen a 24 + or -

that is IF one has the multi function steering wheel fitted.
If not, then 'no-can-do' other than via a Star machine.

you change the mileage screen by using the buttons on the top to toggle between the total mileage, trip mileage, external temp and service indicator. you also change the time on the speedo by toggeling the buttons on top if the battery has gone flat/disconnected.

Unfortunately I dont have a multi function steering wheel, and I tried any other way but without a STAR machine.
Thanx for the suggestions.

The clock pod has two buttons on it, one makes it go forward and one backwards  ;)
