Default Temp display

Hey guys i have a simple question that needs answering because its driving me nuts!!! How do you change the temperature display from Fahrenheit to Celsius? I remember doing it but can't recall for the life of me whether it was in the Z or another car.

Thanks.

Only the socialists in Europe use Celsius. This is the United States of America. Home of the Braver. Land of the free. Go bless our troops and God bless President Obama.

the computer has nothing to do with it

the gauges are what matters

if you want a setup in Celcius, pick up a 3 gauge cluster that reads in metric. Perhaps the Canadian ones do?

the guages are what reads it? what converts it? the computer im guessing? guage will still have to read a metric output no? or is the temp sensor just wired to the guages and not run thru any sort of computer?

the gauge is either in metric or imperial - sensors don't come in metric or imperial, only gauges do

Just convert to Celsius in your head? I would think there would only be a few numbers you would be concerned about being close enough, and the freezing temperature of water in Celsius should be pretty well known.

Multiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32 or (°F - 32) x 5/9 = °C

i gotta do something nice every now and then
