STAR Diagnostics for W204

Hello,

Does anyone know of the menu options on STAR Diag to change the temp display to Celsius and the large digital speedo to km/h on a US 2008 C Class (W204)?

Obviously, I don't have my own STAR Diag, but I've went to a few dealers & they couldn't figure it out, since it's a new model. Does anyone know of any dealer in the SoCal area that would know how to do this?

Thanks

You don't need a star machine, it can be done through the instrument cluster. Check in your owners manual.

Yeah, I really wish it was this easy. I don't really understand why there is no option to toggle between Fahrenheit & Celsius. Almost all other Mercedes have this option, & as a matter of fact, almost all other cars have this option.

But if anyone could help, or give me some info, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

Change from miles to km and the temp will change back the Celcius

It was on older cars where you could change the settings from the instrument cluster computer but that does not exist any more.

I'm not sure but I am afraid that this cannot be done simply by SDS either. Perhaps SCN coding would bring it but who knows what to put in.
