Default The "colon" on my clock is missing!

Is it an option why it is hidden? The clock does show the time but it bothers me without the two little dots in between 😐

I know I know... another OCD issue I want to attend to.

Somebody OCD would know it's a colon. Sounds like the LCD display is wearing out - any degradation of the numerals?

Ah! Colon it is (edited). No, no degradation of the numberals, everything else is normal.

What happens when you try to reset the time when you push the button? How about changing back to 12 hour time instead of 24 hour time?

I'm afraid the original owner of this 996 requested the colon delete option. Porsche would knock off $100 off the price of the car. But to reenable it, you have to take it back to a Porsche service center for them to hook it up to one of their fancy computers to reenable it.

You can take it to the proctologist and have it checked

Pretty sure the previous owner of your car used this:

A friend of mine prevailed after a bout of cancer. You could say he has a semicolon.
