The buttons for fine tuning your preferences are the 2 little ones either side of the display:

Slightly off-topic (sorry!) but what's that button to the bottom-left of the D9 climate control? The one with the car with a line over it...

information provide to me by welton

The symbol which shows air going over the bonnet is the re-circ function where no air from outside can enter the car (this is for FULL air con power or to stop smells getting in from other exhausts etc).

Think I prefer the d8s version of the button which is a circulating arrow... ;)

You got a remote contol for your multi function display? If so the display units can be set the menu.

Actually looks like this one never got answered!

James: In the infinitesimally slim possibility that you ain't worked it out yet (or for the advantage of anyone else who get this as a search result now this thread has been raised from the forum grave...), lever the display out and there's a little circular switch showing through a hole in the plastic on the right of it that you can rotate with a screwdriver. One click anticlockwise should change it to centigrade if memory serves.

yeah i still got the climate in farenheit which is annoying, that switch you talk of is on the side of the trip computer i think

Hi James, I found this, see if it makes sense to you. Maybe this wire's fallen out of the back. I could've sworn there's a switch on the back of the display on the D8, have you had a look?

if you want your temp reading in Fahrenheit
then attach an earth lead to terminal 8 on the top black 15 connector. My
car came with Fahrenheit as default, but when I pulled the earth lead out,
which is not shown in the Haynes, it changed reading to Centigrade!

are you sure this is on the climate control unit not the trip computer as the trip computer has 2 15 pin plugs, and in the top plug pin 8 is an earth, whereas the climate control has two large plugs one white one and one black one
ill have a look for the switch later today

Save yourself the time James. Sorry, I was thinking of the trip computer all along. DOH!!!

Anyway, I'll keep looking for you.
