Other setting the clock

[gers]

hi guys just joined today came across the site by accident,, glad i did its seems to be really good while im here does anyone know how to change the clok from 24 hour to 12 hour ive tried everthing even rang the dealer who told me it cant be changed .... surely not.... can anyone help cheers guys Gers..

[Brodick]

don't think it can be done

had several Honda's and they have all been the same

[gers]

thanks Brodick.... think your right...what ive done is set the clock to 3 o clock when it should really be 15.00 hours, that way for most of the time im looking at a 12 hour clock.... works for me

"what ive done is set the clock to 3 o clock when it should really be 15.00 hours,"

So you don't drive before noon????

[gers]

Certainly not at the weekend.... Idrive to work in the morning 7 30 am cant see the clock anyway... and when i come out at 4 o clock its fine ...as i said works for me

[delorean_2k]

It can be done, it's in the Settings menus

Go to Settings screen 2, and then down to Clock

Here you'll see Clock Type - 12H or 24H.

Change to 12H and you're sorted

Thanks Delorean for the reply and the photo.. but im assuming that you have sat nav (by the photo ).. I dont have it in mine so i guess im stuck with the 24 hour clock... Thanks again for your help Gers..

[delorean_2k]

Ah right - yeah I do have sat nav, can't believe that option has been left out if you don't have sat nav!!

Sorry to hear that!

[amronno]

Why on earth did they put a 24 hour clock into a UK market car, (sat-nav or not) without an option to switch settings?! Strange, isn't it?!

[TTDegs]

it's not something as stupid as spinning through the hours is it?

I've had that on a couple of cheapo watches for the kids.

cycle goes 1,2,3.....23,24,1,2,3....11,12,1,2,3...

can't try it as I have sat nav - but maybe?

Have a look in the manual under the stereo settings section.

Press the stereo power button for more than 2 seconds and then one of the numbered buttons on the stereo (maybe 6) gives you the 12/24 hour option. Is that what you want?

I don't have the manual here, but I could check tonight if you want?

Thanks Matt.. That was the first thing i tried ..., But i held down the Clock button for 2 secs and then it gives the option to change hrs and mins with button 4 and 5 then button 6 is a reset button...Ihavent tried holding the stereo button down though will try it later.... thanks

[TTDegs]

the manual (page 266 on) refers to setting the clock for cars 'with audio system' (use buttons 1,2 & 3 on the radio) and 'without audio system' (use buttons under the clock).

However, with the possible exception of the (quite possibly imaginary!) original 'S' spec (not Type S, just S), all Civs have an audio system of one sort or another, so not sure whats going on there...

[gers]

Thanks to Matt I now have it sorted.... Hold down stereo power button (stereo must be on ) for 2 secs,..then press button 6 this gives you the option for 12 or 24 hour clock, select the one you want, and away you go... This is also detailed on page 215 of the Type S manual .. I still dont know why they put this function on the stereo button and not on the Clock button, but there you go ,,.. Thanks again Matt.... and to everybody else for thier help... Gers

[Philnet]

I think in whole europe, we use 24h and not 12h except UK ! lol
Also for km/h ...

[spile]

Excellent Gers - thank you.

[Bog]

I'm in the UK and use the 24h clock all the time

[richierich]

24h all the way baby, unless I'm on binary!
