Below is a typical Avant pre-upgrade, displaying the time in the annoying 24h format as used in the &#39;old world&#39;:</p> <p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3610/3699541048_f009566718.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>...and below is the Avant post-upgrade, showing clearly that the 12h format can indeed be accommodated (huzzah!):</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2556/3699540908_1438ff99e7.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>Apparently the new Beotime will use the same format to display 12h time formatting for the US export market. Auto transmission and climate control will, sadly, not be options :(</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
