Cluster display and center display to Celsius

Hello there Acuraziner's!

I tried to research this topic but didn't find any helpful information... I would like to ask if there is a way to change both displays from Fahrenheit to Celsius? I already got used to Frankensteins but I still would like all the displays to show Celsius... All my Audis could do that with no issues If there is no way to do it myself, do you think the dealership could help?


Btw I am so in love with my steering wheel mmm


Thank you,
PK

The above comment is correct. There is no button to have the MID change the units in its display. You can, however, use your Navi to convert temperature when needed (and volume, gallons to litres or vice versa). Hit the "Info" button underneath the Navi screen, select "Calculator," enter the temperature and hit the F–C conversion located to the right of the numeric keypad.

It's asinine that there's no button you can push to change the MID to Celsius and the odometer to kilometres. With a digital display all they need to do is add two conversion algorithms. I especially roll my eyes at the lack of a miles/kilometres switch because the Navi manual talks about how they recommend you switch the Navi's units of measure when you cross the border so that the directions it gives you will match up with the road signs. That's great, except you can't use your odometer to confirm the distances unless you're good at making the conversions on the fly in your head (which shouldn't be necessary in a car like this one).

for comparison, a 2006 civic has the option to change km to miles with a touch of a button

Thank you for your input. I am not at the point where I would have to use the calculator in order to get the Celcius because I can do it in my head but still, it would be great to have that option... It really doesn't make sense - 2007 car does not have that feature and my old 1996 Audi has that... Oh well I still love my Acura
