    I've read the manual and can not find an answer anywhere. Is it possible to make the clock read in 12hr format as opposed to 24hr format. I did figure out to to change Celsius to F.
    Thanks

    I had the same issue . Yes it is possible , the dealer did mine to the 12hr format . Don't know how complicated it is to do it yourself .

    The Dealer changed mine. Said he needed a tool(computer?). Has anyone been able to get the doors to lock automatically?

    My dealer has called Ferrari, etc and is having trouble figuring out where the code is to change the clock to 12hr format. Could someone please (who has had a dealer make the change) respond asap with the name of the Ferrari dealer so that I can have my dealer contact them (hopefully within the next hour)?
    Thanks, Philip

    Hmmm...I've been told that time stands still when driving a Ferrari, so who needs a clock anyhow?

    that's getting pretty bad when you have to instruct your dealer on where to get their instructions on something as simple as changing the 12/24 hr format of a clock.

    So...does it require the service department's computer or can we mere mortals change it as well?

    Not only does it require the computer, it is a small section of code which is hidden away under the wrong catagory and is only accessible through "the handheld (?)" or something like that.

    I know this is a super old thread but three people on here are claiming they were able to successfully change clock to 12 hour format but no one lists HOW - do any of the two of you that are still active(@JOEA2 @jm2) know HOW it was done??

    I've searched for this to no end. Like it says above, if it's possible, it's some code that needs to be changed via computer. Don't know why it would be so convoluted. Either way, these things run faster than the cars they're in so good luck keeping accurate time. Mine runs more accurately after installing a lithium battery, but I still have to reprogram it every month. I finally just gave up and turned it off altogether.

    Happy to hear I'm not alone in this. My clock seems to gain time.

    I have found the entry where it seems to be set to 24hr format, but not how to change it. That could just be a limit of my computer though
