Bump - I have the same problem with the clock not adjusting in my 2001 boxster base. Started happening since recently replacing the battery. Problem is after pressing and holding in the clock knob, the clock won't start flashing.

Clock knob seems to press in (and sort of creaks/squeaks while doing so).

Turning the clock knob to the left gives the expected behavior of toggling the distance values between miles and kilometers.

I understand the one-time workaround of disconnecting and reconnecting the battery at exactly "high noon", but would ideally prefer to address the root cause of the problem here.
