Converting MPH speedo and trip comp. to KPH

I live in Ottawa, Canada. I recently purchased an 03 E500 sport in Boston and had the car registered here in Canada. My question is, can I convert the MPH speedometer to KPH, and is there a way I can have the trip computer display in KPH as well?

thanks

Yes and Yes. If you want to change the analog speed indicator dial and needle, your friendly local dealer should be able to do that quite easily. However, they might want to change the whole instrument cluster, since it is easier for them.

As far as the MFD readout, you can change that in the setting's menu of the MFD itself. It will change MPGs to L/100KM along with your trip meter and your odometer. Until you decide to change the instrument cluster so that the analog dial reads in metric units, you can still select the speed display in the MFD menu so that your speed will show in the middle of the MFD in Km/hr.
