I asked Nat privately if he was referring to a digital temperature gauge
or an analog one like the water temperature needle.
Climate control systems usually allow for easily switching between C &
F, but manual gauges require a cluster swap. I did this in my old
Volkswagen, I imported a gauge cluster from Germany to get water temp in
C and the speedometer in km/h only.

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.

Second that!
Also there was *one* I posted yesterday, that I think got buried in
the maze. I'd really like some help with this....

-----------------------------------
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?
Nat

Wow two weekends in a row with several hundreds postings. 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.
