can that be done? is there a setting in the engineering mode that would allow for that change? any hints or tips is greatly appreciated..

 

no need go to engineering mode. manual covers this and you simply go to the settings.

 

The rep at Sindelfingen told me that this was impossible. Having lived overseas for a majority of my adult life, I have grown to admire the metric system. I too, would like to display my temps in C.

 

This brings up why has the US not converted officially to the metric system? Most manufacturing and tooling in the US use metric measures. Even your drug dealers deal only in metric. The world is metric. It's time for the US to finally stop dragging their feet and convert officially now that we are all living in a global village with global economy.

 

Same goes for weight mesurements too , ditto

 

I agree. Then we could change to the Euro . . .

 

pretty much everything else. who the heck still use gallon ?

 

UK still uses gallon but Brits gallon differs than US gallon

 

I guess i will read my manual for the very first time...haha....thanks!

 

I had a w204 c-class and that was not possible...

 

Just flipped thru the manual and nowhere to be found...can you assist?

 

Uh, are you talking about coolant temperature or outside air temperature?

 

outside air temp and passenger temp..

 

you could be right, dave. i went through the manual of your model yr and i think i've mixed up the change of km and miles. you can do this w/the steering wheel but not the temp. i'm away from my car now and i want to check that out as well. this could be very stupid if we can change the speed unit but not temperature.

 

I think it is very stupid..my 09 c-class was just like that as well, can change to km/h but not the temp. My porsche and bmw were able to do with just a click of a button and not sure why MB won't make it easy..oh well..

 

exactly. very simple task and my previous bmw did the same as well. but doesn't really matter it's a bmw, porsche or mb, all i can say is no car is perfect. people still don't understand why you need to insert the key and press the start button in a bmw .

 

UK officially does not use gallons any more. For example, it is illegal to sell fuel in gallons, it is all liters now.

UK gallon, the imperial gallon, is 4.5 liters when the U.S. gallon is 3.785 liters.

 

That's good thanks for clarification , Top Gear crew should also switch to liters , I don't wanna hear hear MPG anoymore lol

 

It just dawned on me so , may be STAR diagnostic can change it all the values ,your privately owned MB service, dealers have it
BTW, I have found a great source for MB stuff

These guys are awesome, i asked a question about my car and they answered me with all the details

 

Dave-
Were you successful with this? Looking into it myself.

 

Interesting question so I went out to my 2011 E350 Wagon.
There is nothing in the settings of my car that allows me to change the temperature settings. I looked at Instruments, convenience, vehicle etc.
My conclusion supports others that it cannot be done through Settings on the newer cars.

 

That's correct, there isn't a setting to have it done. Also, there isn't a setting in STAR either. What I've been told is that you must get a new, US climate control module (about $350) and have it installed, and some coding done to update it. I just am looking for someone who has done that on a W212. Thanks-

 

I also try to find it for S550 2015. There is no way. Stupid Mercedes. It sells car all over the world and no way to change F to C, but my Buick Enclave 2012 has it. Shame on you.


My Buick Enclave has miles per gallons and km per liters, there are metric units and english units. BMW has it too. Only so famous Mercedes does not have it.


See: Porto Rico has metric system, a lot of people in US are from other countiries, Mexico has litres, South America the same, a lot of people form South America here in US, and so smart Mercedes did not put to set units.





Also, if I buy entertaimnet for rear seats I cannot watch PAL(Europe) DVD's?

 

STUPID mercedes?...you bought it right? what should we call you then?

 

Quote of the day.....
Guys, don't sweat the small stuff. Celsius or Fahrenheit....all that matters is whether its comfortable for your skin or not. Enjoy your ultra nice MB.
