Default Change LFA style odometer from Miles to Kms or vice versa

Hi all,

I have a strange situation with my IS300H F Sport. My car is from 2014 and when I change the MPG to KPL or L/100KM the car changes everything except the odometer which keeps showin in miles (including the trip A and trip B functions).
Now I know a person with an IS300H F SPORT from 2015 (same model, same spec) which when changed from MPG to KPL or L/100KM the car also changes the odometer to kms.

Does anyone know what is the trick here?

Many thanks in advance.

Hopefully there are a bunch of IS300H owners on here cause we don't get that version of the 3IS in North America.
Having said that, I've never seen a Lexus or Toyota where the Odometer changed when you change the Speedo for Kms to Miles, or vice versa.
Lastly, although it converted it, it's slightly off...only 3 miles, but still.

That is so weird.

Hi Sasnuke,

Thanks for your reply. I know you don't have the IS300H in North America but I was expecting that you get the same LFA style display in some models and so maybe someone knows if there is any trick here that we can't figure out on this side of the world!

All the F Sport models here have the LFA style gauges. I have a 2014 F Sport, and it behaves the same way as your vehicle.
I'd be hard pressed to believe any of the 2015 or newer F Sports do the same thing as the other 300H.
