With a lot of later model cars, there's a country code in the car's computer that can be changed by a dealer (or by yourself if you buy some software and some connector cables). I think it's that code, rather than the display itself, that needs to be changed. Setting the code to Canada should change all LED displays to metric (odometer to km, temp to C, etc.). You'll probably want to switch it back before selling it.

Also there was *one* I posted yesterday, that I think got buried in the maze. I'd really like some help with this.... Nat ----------------------------------- Wonder if someone can point me in the write direction here.. I'm looking for a late model Accord with a temperature gauge of course in Celsius. So far the one that comes with it is hard-wired F only, and when I try to find detailed instructions (jumper setting, etc) or the counterpart model in Canada I come up blank. The US F-only model is part # 08E71-SDA-100. Anyone have any suggestions?

Its nice to see so much interest but unfortunately I had to delete most of them without reading them. My IT guys might not be too happy if this keeps up. I love the list but lets try to keep it a bit more reasonable in numbers of posts. -- "Go for a Metric America" Howard Ressel Project Design Engineer, Region 4 (585) 272-3372
