Can the clock on a 2004 Volkswagen golf be set to 12hr time instead of 24hr time?

Answer 1

On the back of the clock's printed circuit board is a slotted-circle type trace arrangement. On one side of the circle is printed '12', and on the opposite is printed 24. If you carefully cut the trace to the 12 and solder a copper wire to the 24, your clock will start displaying 24-hour time. Make sure you observe static discharge prevention measures during work. This means grounding yourself to the body. A copper wire wrapped around your wrist and tied to something metal should work. Doing so helps the electronic components of the clock to last as long as possible.
