Can you change the dash to the metric system (temp and kilo /per hundred) like on the 2006?

Do you know of a write-up somewhere? I can't seem to figure out how to do that. When I code the cluster for any country besides the US I still get imperial units. When I try to change it unit-by-unit in the adaptation it acts like it works but when the value is re-read it's still imperial.

Do you have the full instrument cluster with the MFD? If so, go in to the "units" and make the change that you want.

Otherwise find another dealer that has a clue.

So everyone keeps saying, but every time I try to change it the change doesn't take.

THIS!!!! One VW dealer here tried it and said it did not stay. My normal mehcanic said that it can be done but he does not have the Newest software on his machine and said that I had to take it to a different dealer.

Well I have an appointment on Thursday this week for the passenger heated seat not working and plan to have them look at changing it also.

Ouch, that is painful. Is that for the highline MFD, at least? It'd suck to pay that much and only get the half-size we're already stuck with.
