well, on the 13 button obc there is a little hidden buttoin on the front that you get at woith a pen to change this, just making sure that it doens't have another switch that changes it in another way.

The anoying thing about pressing the little button on the OBC is you can only have Deg F and miles OR Deg C and KM.

but i think the switch on the back changes that.

not sure about switch on the back, thats why i wondered, as i would like miles (m/g) and degrees c

to change it you have to put it on consumption, then press it till it shows L/100 , then the temp will be in C

and yes, it is only average speed, not actual

There should be 3 combinations, this is only available on the 6 button, with the 13 button, there is no way to adjust it, the dial on the back of the 13 button is for configuration iirc.
