Speedometer km/h scale

Hi everybody!

Test drove an MCS, and I'm hooked! Driving hasn't been that much fun in a while. The NAM forums have been a wonderful source of information - THANKS!

As I was flipping through the brochure, I noticed that the designers weren't able to find room for a small km/h scale on that huge speedo. Can anyone tell me whether the digital speed readout on the tach can be reprogrammed for kilometers? We live in the Seattle area and occasionally visit Canada, so this would be a very useful feature.

I did a test on mine. Go into config, set the DIST to be KM. This will set the speed in the tach to be KM as well.

My mind constantly calculates mph to kph but i am resigned to a life of geekdom - that and i grew up used to kph,litre and celsius.
