    Default OBC - silly question?

    Hello to everybody.
    I just bought an OBC IV, English spec, still to be installed.
    I am based in the continent now and wonder: will the OBC also give Km/h - Liter instead of MPH and MPG?
    Or should I rather swap it for a German one before bothering to install it?

    I can do the conversion basically, but it's silly to have cluster working in KMS and Liters and OBC in Gallons and Miles...


    Cheers to everybody,
    G

    Yes, it can be switched via a button on top left (?) corner.

    There is a button on it to change... right next to the display...
    If it cannot be fixed by the dremel or ducktape.. get out the sledge...

    That's alright and thank you! The only thing is: the button says Miles /Kms and C° / F°. It says NOTHING about Liters / Gallons ?

    The same button changes the time from 12 to 24-hour time, so it is probably al all-purpose conversion button.

    The manual calls that button the Changeover button (for units). So you select any of the displays on the OBS and press that button for conversion.
