Does anyone know if you can somewhat easily switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit on the outside temperature monitor? I'm in the US where I just got the car, but I still think in Celsius having lived in Canada for 97% of my life .... 40 should be blistering hot, not freaking freezing!

 

5/9 X (F-32)

 

Yeah yeah yeah ... km <-> miles (0.62) is even easier, but they still let you switch that one! I do enough math at work that I don't want to do it anywhere else (yes, I'm quite lazy).

To lazy to read your manual?
You should have a brand new one.
As new as your brand new car.

 

Yes, I did .... but I'll look at it again. All I remember it saying was that US models read in Fahrenheit and CDN in Celsius. Apologies for a stupid post if it explains it there (I'm not really that lazy!)

(edit below)

Alright. I checked. On pg 52, it says:
[QUOTE]Outside Temperature Indicator
This indicator displays the outside temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S. models) or Centigrade (Canadian models).

The temperature sensor is in the front bumper.

 

I am pretty curious on this... are there any more thoughts? Also, I have curiosity engaged in something else... in the manual, it seems that the clock is able to handle 24-hour time -- is this what countries outside North America have?

 

I wish I have a outside temp indicator

 

Ah, I wouldn't worry about it -- I've actually been wondering about the actual usefulness of such a device. My only conclusion is that it provides others with an opportunity to beam light from their anuses about how their car resembles a mercedes more than another's corolla. The different models of S2Ks all have their highlights compared to the others (9K rpm, no DBW, more torque, VSA, etc.) -- and I wouldn't mind already having a year done on payments and ownership

That said, I am still going to tinker with this doo-dad...

 

Resurrection!!!!!!!

Has anyone figured this out yet??
