I recently put in an ALTA Intake in my MCS and then when I went on a test drive I noticed that the time was in military time. I kinda like it better since I have always used it over standard time, but my question is, is has this happened to anyone else? How do change from one to another?

Thanks

Press and hold both buttons simultaneous for a short bit. It'll change from Military to Standard. Haven't a clue as to how you changed it , though...

Why would you disconnect the battery to do an intake install?

In any case, just push both clock buttons simultaneously to toggle between AM/PM and Military time.

Enjoy

All intakes now include a free enlistment. Contact Alta for the branch you've been enlisted in. Good Luck!

In order to put in the Box, you need to disconnect the ECU.

I just installed an Alta intake and you don't disconnect the battery terminal, just remove it from the stock box and relocate it to the connector on the new so that wouldn't change the clock. More likely , it was from disconnecting the ecv terminals and then reconnecting them after you put the new box in. I never had any changes in the clock though myself. U were just lucky i guess.....
