Ok...so here is my beef. On any Volkswagen or Audi, you cannot easily set the clock to 24 hour time. On my BMW however, it's an easy menu change on the clock display. But I set EVERYTHING I own to 24 hour time.
So, back to the Volkswagen and Audi. On my wife's Allroad, I never wanted to mess with it. But I just bought a Volkswagen Golf R32 and since it's my car, I'd like to set it to 24 hours like my BMW 540i. So I start researching. There is no easy way, but you CAN connect via computer to the car (It's called a VAG-COM...plugs into the OBD port and you can set all kinds of things on the car as well as read faults, etc.) With this tool you can re-code the instrument cluster to the UK settings. Great I think! It changes the time to 24 hour time but doesn't change the miles to kilometers on the digital odometer display. HAhaha...think it's that easy? No way. Turns out when you do that, it also changes the gallon value to imperial from US thus all the trip computer stuff is incorrect due to that. haha...talk about funny, stupid stuff. All that just to change a DIGITAL clock display to 24 hours. Geesh.....
