Converting MPH to KMPH

Hiya,

Just took my car to the local (and only) Porsche dealer/service department in slovenia.

I asked them the plug their computer into my Boxster so that they could comvert the digital display from MPH (its an american car) to Kmph and the F to C on the temp readouts. I also asked them to swith on my on board computer so that the outside temp would be displayed?

The response I got from them is that this is impossible as american cars are only programed in imperial system not metric!!!! I asked them if they were sure and they said yes. They even tried for me but they could not do it.....

Whats you opinion as everything thing I read out there says that this is B***S***.

Thanks.
