hey there, to change from kmh to mph press the consum and the bottom right reset button (i think) there's 3 options, US miles, UK miles and KMH.
If you change to mph hour the temp is in farenheit, I leave mine on kph as the temp is in celcius. Hope that helps....

Ok were getting somewhere!

Koos is right, if he meant the reset button you have to push with a pen, hold down consumption and press reset until it shows what you want

same with the clock/date, select time hold down the reset button (besides 1 and underneath reset/set) for about 2 secs and it flashes, set the time/date using 1000, 100, 10, 1 and hold down again for 2 secs(ish)

Cheers guys, much appreciated
