Only if he drives a boxster.

Actually I lived in Europe for seven years and was in the army. I have a preference for 24 hour time. Plus, I think it adds to the ambience of the car. Whatever. Any thoughts?

The owners manual for my '99 has instructions for changing the hours and minutes display, but no mention is made of any ability to switch to 24-hr display.

Hi,

IIRC, the only way to set the time mode in the Boxster is either with a PST2 or to disconnect the battery for a few hours. Upon reconnecting the battery and resetting the clock, you will get the option to select 12 or 24 Hr. mode before proceeding to set the actual value. Once this time mode is set, it is not adjustable unless there is an interuption to the power supply. Hope this helps.

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
