Change engine temp on cluster from Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Sandroost · Sep 15, 2022

Is this possible? While I appreciate the logic with Celsius (0-100 is superior IMO), I'm 'Merican and I grew up with fern height and can process it more readily.
Is there a way to change the cluster read out to Fahrenheit? And no I'm not German either, just an old Texican, on a new 574.

Change temp from C to F or the opposite.
1-Turn ignition on, wait a few seconds.
2-Depress then release Info button so dash reveals voltage & temperature.
3-Turn headlights on bright.
4-Depress & continue holding Info button approximately 15 seconds or until temp changes from Celius to Farenheit or vice versa.
5-Done.

Hero post right there. Thanks @TractorTYMe

Sandroost · Sep 16, 2022

Thanks tractorTYMe. That whole 9/5 + 32 was killing me!

I left mine on C, I'm a metric kinda guy since I suck at fractions LOL.......besides I went to school using metric.

Metric is better for distance measurement calculations, but Fahrenheit is more precise for temperature. You rarely, if ever, need to do fractions with temps. Maybe if Celsius had temps 0-1000, it would be better.

We will be biased against our mother tongue of measurements, I have to live with two now on a daily basis just like language LOL. But it keeps my brains sharp, so that's that.

Tomorrow I'll try for similar regarding going from km/hr to MPH. Wish me luck!

Sandroost · Sep 25, 2022

Sooo, tractorTYMe, do you know the secret handshake to get it to go from km/hr to MPH? Tried variations on the C/F* technique and still stuck on kilometers per hour.

TractorTYMe · Sep 25, 2022

Unfortunately I don't have a speedo in my T474. So I don't know the secret handshake, one would think if the previous suggestion worked on the temp, it would do the whole dash?

A speedometer and a speedo are 2 different things.

TractorTYMe · Sep 25, 2022

You get the picture, don't make me dig out a dood in speedos..........I'll send ya a rusty tea spoon to carve out your eye balls.

Sandroost · Sep 25, 2022

Well my 574 has a speedo, and I do not... memories of high school gym class jocks being handed out flashing back now

WTF in the rear view mirror.
But yea. I'd think if they can go from C to F they figured we'd want to go from KMH tot MPH in the programming. Again, the secret south Korean programmers handshake.

Take a sharpie and write an MPH on the glass covering the instrument panel where the KMH is. Your welcome.

Try this.

Worked like a charm! TractorTYMe to the rescue again

I have the same machine, mine happens to be 2020 model but this solution did not work for me. Followed instructions to the letter, dunno.

I was looking for the speedo today and could not find one lol. I have the T474 also. How do you like yours ?
