I should imagine it's need to be Tech2'd to change it, I'm sure one of the Tech2 owners will be along shortly to prove me wrong ;D ;D

I seem to recall that in my pre-facelift it was something simple (like pressing reset when displaying the outside temperature).

I can't see any reference to it in the facelift owners manual.

Are we talking outside air temp or climate display? AFAIK the outside temp only reads in ^oC while the climate can be changed to ^oF with a TechII on a PRE facelift.
Facelift cars can change the climate to F - Please read the manual  ;)  ;)  ;)

For MIDs, a Tech2 required.

For climate, facelift can be changed as per manual, prefacelift is Tech2

If i take it to one of the tech's, they can set it up because i don't want to travel to the nearest one(45 miles away) only to be told the setting can't be changed because the system does not support o'F settings

Price for this is quite good but as the nearest tech is about 45 miles away and with the cost of fuel at the moment I'll leave it a bit.Thought this might have been a diy job as with most car.Thanks for the help
