F430 Clock Adjust???

I've had no luck with that either. I must admit I haven't tried very hard though.

 

Same in my 360. I don't think you can change it- I think the only option is 24 hour time.

 

Give up. You can't.

 

There's no point even trying to change it to 12 hour. Ferrari clocks can't keep time. Better off using a sun dial

 

That was my understanding. It's one of it's Italian "quirks", like pressing down on the button to make the top go up and pulling up on the button to make the top go down.

Now, if someone can tell me how to manually tune radio stations......

 

if you reset the clock weekly, it keeps better time, but still weakly.

 

Must learn to subtract 12 from big numbers. You will get used to it. All us military guys did.

My clock consistently gains time, weird, you would think that F could a digital clock right. Oh well...

 

good to hear about other fast clocks... wasn't sure why mine was always ahead of my watch / phone /any other decent instrument for timekeeping...

 

Not easy to find a digital clock that gains time.....

 

It's part of the overall marketing theme of this car -- everything runs fast.

 

Mine is fast as well, and it changes from standard to military randomly!!!

 

Switched it off. Just use it for outside temperature.

 

Very clever

 

I figured out how to manually change stations but switching AM to FM requires the manual every time. And what's with all those presets?

Wonder if the clock gaining time have anything to do with trickle charging or if it is just a standard feature.

 

Sounds like fast running clocks came standard in 430s. I know mine is. Funny, the old analog clock in my 328 keeps perfect time.

Or if mentally easier, just subtract 2 and ignore the first digit. So 1900 hrs becomes 7:00 (9-2=7, ignore the "1").

I know I'm kicking up an old thread but this has been bugging me for years and I finally found it as part of my manual conversion. The 24hr to 12hr option does exist inside the cluster programming menu if you have access to a Leonardo. Won't make it run accurately but hey, baby steps right?

 

Cool, next time my car is in for service, I will ask my mechanic to switch it to 12 hour. He has a Leonardo.

 

Just confirming, if I leave it in Race mode however the clock doesn't show right?

 

On my 08 the clock still shows in Race mode. But, like everyone else, it’s always fast. I just ignore it now.

 

Ok maybe I'm not remembering correctly as I think when mine is in Race it just says Race the whole time. I also have an 08.

 

It says “RACE” but just below that in a smaller font is the time.
