Clock display
« on: 15 February 2010, 17:17 »
Hey people this may sound really stupid, and I apologise in advance for sounding this dumb, but can you change the clock display on the low line display from the 24 hour format to a 12 hour format?

Thanks in advance and I hope you all weren’t laughing too hard at my stupidity.

I think the problem is no one knows one way or the other - certainly its not anything I've thought of doing myself and I don't think I've seen any mention of this in the manual.

Which leads me on to ....

Have you checked the manual?  :tongue:

If you have highline MFD, i'm sure you can change the units; mph/kph, 12-hr, 24-hr, etc...

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

I had a quick flick through the manual, but didnt see anything.

Not a majour problem, just would like it in 12 hr format.

I have the low line display.

2nd quick question, is it easy to change to the high line display? Im guessing no and would be a pretty majour job to do if it can be done?

I beleive you only get the highline computer display with the multifunction steering wheel which thankfully I ordered as an option on my mk5. New car has it as standard fit I see.

^^^Wrong. I have highline and a poverty spec wheel.

I'd be very surprised if there's no way to change the display on your car, at all...? I have been wrong before, though...

Get yourself a highline set of clocks and someone who is pretty trick at VagCom and you can swap them over. I believe you need to recode the immobiliser and update the mileage which are the tricky parts.

^^  As above, physically changing them over is pretty easy.  How difficult the coding part is depends on the year of manufacture of your car and the clocks.  For a certain age its a dealer only job but the earlier ones can be done by someone competant with VAGCOM and another piece of software.
