Changing the temperature gauge from fahrenheit to celsius?

I live in Toronto and I have a TL type S from California. Is it possible to change the temperature gauge from fahrenheit to celsius?
How about changing miles to kilometres?

Thanks

Sorry, it appears not. The manual differentiates between US and Canada models in the MID description (F/C, mi/km, psi/kpa) with no mention of changing settings.

You would need an entirely new set of gauges. Pisses me off to no end, too, as I want everything Canadian-spec (km/h, C) except for tire pressure: because KPA is such a useless metric.

There is no way to switch this and it's really quite stupid, given that it's a digital display and all they'd have to do would be to program the conversion algorithm and provide a button.

Can you just change out the gauge cluster and the heating display? I need to go the opposite way (canadian TL in the US). I wouldn't care much except for the MPH ticks on the gauge are blue an tiny, and during the day almost illegible.

I changed my gauges out from Canadian to US with no problem...much much better for me. Everything works perfectly fine.

As for the climate control, I found out its all one part with the radio display, and I'm not sure if it will change to Fahrenheit if I switch it out. Might give it a shot soon but thats far less important.

Switching your car AC display from F to C

Here is what I found and it worked it the past on my Audis but I haven't tried it on my Acura yet. I'll let you know if it works:
