Climate Control Reads Deg C

[kvadgama]

Just installed new climate control and reads temperature in C.
How would I change it so that reads temperature in F?

I think you press the km/mph button, but I dont know if it depends on the type of OBC.

[kvadgama]

kmh /mph button only works for bottom unit (ie outside temp, miles/Km etc).
I tried that button (kmh / mph), and it does not change climate control temp from C to F.
Do you think I might have gottan european version. I got it from the dealer here in US.

there is a way to change it, i know its in the manaul.. beause i've done it before.. i think u have to hit "set/res" but i am not sure

You most likely have the Canadian version climate control.
They are usually the only ones that come to NA.

As far as I know you cannot change the unit's temperature reading.
You may have to do it through the ECU. I would check with the service department of your local dealer just to make sure.

I think there's no possibility to do that.

if you have the 6 button OBC or pre-1995 OBC then just hit the C/F button twice....

if you don't have that then get in the habit of multiplying the number you see by 9/5 and adding 32 to get F....

Here's a tool specially made for your problem!

The unit needs to be encoded by a BMW shop with the factory GT1 or Modic or DIS+ and then after encoding, the temp display can be changed via the path "conversion" in the BMW tester.

I have 96 328 and it has NO CF button.
And also getting a habit of multiply 9/5 and add 32 is just too much for my brain.
I'd rather use my butt as the temperature thermometer, LOL.

He obviously doesnt have 1 or he wouldnt be posting. He changed the climate control computer not the time-temperature clock if you read his original post. The only way to change the temp display on the climate control panel is through encoding.

Here's the pic to clarify the unit in question.
I have a feeling that dealer might have to program it.

Thanks

[Dirty_Tool]

Um yeah, thats what I've been saying.

I agree with Dirty Tool, the dealership has to do it. The dealership reprogrammed mine after I replaced it. I think they charged me about $150.

Does anyone know if it will rese back to C if you loose/disconnect your battery?
