Default Exterior Temp Display F to C Conversion?

Does anyone know how to convert the exterior temperature display from fahrenhiet to celsius?? I've got a US spec '07 in Canada and the temp reading in deg F is confusing to us metrified folk. I assume there is a jumper to dip switch somewhere (likely on the gauge assembly?) but I can't find anything in the Honda service manual.

Any advice appreciated....

I'll reply to our canuckian brethern...I assume you have the quebecoise manual, since in english it shows how to use the small black button next to the trip button. Not sure if you get imperial gallons though...

Sigh, that only changes miles to kilometres.

Forgive them Jeff. They are rather protective of their drams and pennyweights.

I don't know the answer but I'd check with the UK and Europe guys as they might have more experience converting from archaic measures to something that makes sense.

Thanks for the responses... The SEL button (next to the TRIP button on the cluster) does a great job of converitng the speedo from mph to kph and the odometer from miles to kilomenters...but does nadda for the tempertature display that stays in deg F on either setting.

I can't imagine our efficient Japanese friends would provide the miles to kilometers conversion without the flexibility to change the temperature display so all markets can be supplied with one cluster. Demming would roll over in his grave....

Any assistance from our enlightened european friends would be welcome!
