Program the time and date by pushing the recessed button at the bottom right of the obc unit and then use the 1000, 100 etc buttons to set the time/date. To change from kph to mph I think you have to have the obc in 'consumption' mode and push the recessed button to scroll through the options.

'fraid not, that's only possible with the 6 button unit.

great.. so its either trying to convert into F or trying to do MPG...

think I'll keep it in C (sounds better when you think that 20MPG is about 11l/100!
