I can change my settings from the steering wheel, so I can't figure out why you would need Star. I can change my speedo from MPH to KM, and turn on my daytime running lights, which I have set to off.

Yes. The OP is in Canada, not the US. Please reread.

well you can make it show you km/h in digital mode only,it won't change the way the needle on the speedometer,it will still show miles on the speedometer and km/h inside the little screen.I wish there was a way to change the way the needle shows if it's mp/h or km/h.
