12 vs. 24 hour clock: I give up, Manual is no help, and dont find it with a search

bcolins · 06-01-2014, 11:46 PM

I've read and re-read the manual, and searched here. I'm not seeing anything that tells me where to select whether my clock displays 12 hour or 24 hour time. I have followed the steps in the manual,...repeatedly,....no place to select the clock mode,........that I have found.

Can anyone walk me through it?

You can change it through idrive

Yeah, mine is a checkbox in iDrive, where you set the time.

If you don't have iDrive, it is accessed through the OBC menus using the switches on the turn signal lever. I think the car has to be "on" but not running to get to the right set of menus.

Should have mentioned, NO Idrive.

I've read the manual guys,.....I've clicked through the menus repeatedly,....there is no 12/24 choice,......I can change/set the time only,.....that I have found so far,.....not sure if I have tried this without the car running yet,...so will try that in a few minutes.

I will have to look again. But I think you set it on the radio, not the cluster where you change the time.

12/24 is done thru the radio. Click menu then config.

I found it. It's NOT in the clock set menu;......it's in the menu that has a key with a check mark icon. Thanks for all ur attempts to assist.
