Re: Switching temp display from Farenheit to Celsisus?\

It's actually reasonably simple. There's a connector under the dash that needs to be plugged in, or unplugged...I can't remember the exact details, but that's the idea. I will search.

Edit: Found!

Remove the kick panel on the left side of the car. You may have to slide it up a bit to get it out of the door trim.

Locate a white electrical connector with a SINGLE black wire going into both sides.

Pull apart the white connector.

That's it. Put the panel back on, start the car, and turn on your aircon. The temperature is now in celcius!
