Tire Pressure Display from KPA to PSI?

Hey guys, just curious, is there a way to convert the Tire Pressure display form KPA to PSI? I believe the U.S. models display in PSI, but the Canadian cars are displayed in KPA.......is it possible?

only possible way that i can tell is to change the brain to US spec brain.

pretty much the navigation system and the tire-pressure receiver otherwise.. its set like that..

may i ask why you want to change to PSI from KPA?

lol only way i can guess why you want to do this is because of the large number..

1 psi = 6.9 kpa..

so 33 psi would be 227.50 kpa

I don't know either but KPA is a pain because you can never get it exact not that a few digits on either side makes much difference. Same problem with temperature readings between F and C. The nav does however let you choose between US and metric. I find that really handy when I cross the border.

Well this is the only car i've ever had with KPA. To be honest with you, i didn't even know that KPA existed. lol. I've also only known PSI. I actually thought that PSI was the Canadian spec, because that's all i've ever known. I've just learned that KPA is actually the Canadian eqivallant to PSI.
