How to change temperature units from Fahrenheit or Celsius?
Hello everyone,
i’m trying to change the temperature units from Fahrenheit to Celsius for the AC and the outside temperature reading. I have already changed the units in the infotainment settings however the AC is still showing temperature in Fahrenheit and the outside temperature is also shown in Fahrenheit.
it might be worth noting that when I changed the speedometer units from mph to km/h The unit was changed correctly for the large speedometer however now I’m getting tiny mph reading at the bottom right side of the screen.
appreciate your help thank you very much for your time.

There is an App called Carista, and it will let you change some of the dealer options. I'm not sure if you've been to the dealer yet and paid to have it changed, but I can check later today to see if I can find the option to change the temperature from F to C. The Carista App is still handy to have around, I know I turned the reverse beeping off on my Dad's LS, and I adjusted the heated steering wheel or the seats to run warmer while the car is set up auto on mine.
I just looked on their website and it looks like the adapter is $30, but it looks like they have gone to a subscription based plan. I don't think I paid more than $5 for the app, maybe since I bought it so long ago I'm grandfathered in?? They do have some subscriptions that are for just a month. Long enough to customize and be done with it.

other things I’m interested in is having the sport setting on engine start up instead of doing it manually, possibly changing the infotainment system language other than the available English/Spanish options, and even changing the country of the navigation. I know it’s too much to ask. I’m happy with changing the temperature units alone. Having sports setting automatically set in engine start that’s a bonus ;p
thanks again.

Drive Mode cannot be set to default to Sport, only Normal or ECO.
Apparently if it could default to Sport on start up then they would have to
conduct the EPA CAFE Fuel Mileage testing in Sport...they do not want
to publish that rating, right?

Seriously thought, why are they so worried about the rating? Will it perform less than other competitors under similar drive modes?

Sorry I just now got around to looking at this. I don't see the option to change the temperature units in the carista app. I am actually surprised that it is this difficult to change units.
It is possible that an update for the app will come out and it will be able to find more customization options. I know when my dad got his 2018, the reverse beeping drove him crazy. I wasn't able to turn it off for him when I first tried, but a year later I was able to do it.

Fhobb-
Yes I was able to shut it off for my dad. I used the Carista App. It has been since Christmas(2019) when I turned it off for him. If I remember correctly you had 3 options. One beep, No beep, or the reversing truck sound. I know my LS beeps once when you put it in reverse, I find it acceptable. I can't remember if mine came beeping like a truck from the dealer, or if mine arrived just beeping one time. I know that if it did beep like a truck backing up, that I didn't put up with it long on my LS. :-)
The other option to using the app to turn it off, would be to have your dealer do it... just depends on how nice your dealer is.
