Part 2; Changing mph to kph
« on: June 09, 2019, 08:49:52 pm »
As the original post has gone somewhat off topic, will provide an update.
Today, as I was about to The Dublin Swift at Holyhead, decided opportune moment
to change my speedo to "kmh".
I had practiced at home a couple of times, and it was done very easily in the Settings Menu.

Today, annoyingly when I needed it, that setting was greyed out; I was stationary at the time, waiting to drive onto the ship; the temperature setting could be changed from "f" to "c".
I wondered if it was because I had a route running to my Irish destination; cancelled
route.
Went back to settings; still greyed out :(

On 3rd attempt the speed setting was, at last, not greyed out; don't have my Owner's Manual with me, but I don't recall any preconditions to my proposed action, apart from being stationary.

Any clues/ anyone had same?

Frustrating for you. Engine actually off as well as car stationary?

Some settings require the engine to be running.

I confirmed myself today that miles/KMh can only be changed/selected when the engine is running.
The internet is a huge dumpster. You have to look hard to find anything useful.
