With the silly temperatures we've been having (22F this morning) I'd quite like to know what it is in English without having to convert it in my head - is it possible to change from farenheit to celcius?

The beauty of the 6 button OBC...unclip it, pull it out and turn the small switch on the back to your preference!

I much prefer the 6 button to the 13 button, it has all the 'reliable' functions that are needed, and takes literally 5 secs to remove, and you have a choice of 12/24hr and temp settings!

Excellent, I didn't know you could change to 24-hour as well :)

I'm off to give it a try now :thumb:

I assume you know the face pulls of the OBC, then there's 2 clips under the face?

That was smart, when I got my new Vauxhall it had a temperture gauge but when it went under 3c, it just showed a little snowflake which I thought was crap, much better having the noise to draw your attention to the temp gauge!
