I can put up with the analogue speedo being in the wrong units as I never use it, but its frustrating loosing the option to have my MPG and miles til empty as they are both in KM. I tried holding the clock switch to the left for 5 seconds to switch the units, but this only changes the Car's mileage and the digital speedo units, not any of the other units for MPG, miles till empty, average speed etc. So before I ring up Porsche to see if they can sort it, just wondering if there's another way to switch these units? Thanks for any advice.
Gauge clusters are country specific; if you look in the Porsche parts catalog, you will find an entire list of part numbers by country. You will not be able to reprogram this cluster to do what you want.
