Mike,
Here's some links I found, looking for a temperature gauge for a ~2005 Honda Accord. It's pretty frustrating. Even ebay-Canada lists and F only version! I'd just like to know where there's an online Canadian Honda parts site, where I could get the true Canadian version!

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. -Mike Victor Jockin wrote: > 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).
