Star does have a simulation mode. It allows you to play and pretend without messing up the car. Look for SIM mode on the laptop...or Simulator..something like that.

Will poke around and see what I can find

I thought this was done through the steering wheel controls in the settings menu on instrument panel. Check the manual. It should be there.

Not sure if you found it yet, but WOW is it way in there.

Okay get to the part of Star where if offers you the options of Quick Test etc and click on "Control Unit Groups"

Then click as follows

Information And Communication/ Instrument Cluster/ Control Unit Adaptations/ Variant Coding/ Key Dependent Storage/ Then click Configuration for Key "X" with x being whatever keys are available. 1 or 2 etc.

Then you will see a list of things you can change for that Key....one of which is F to C. DONT FORGET to click the button to "Transfer Coding" or something like that. It is either on that page or the page previous. Think it says F5 on it. You'll see it. You have to code the car or it won't take.

Lemme know if you have any trouble.
