    This question popped up before but I found no solution yet.

    Changing temperature units on Gen3 to Celsius.
    In contrast with Gen2, it appears that the climate control on the Gen3 is just a regular unit similar to any other Toyota. This should mean that a change of units to read Celsius may be a mater of "jumper" setting or a keystroke sequence.
    Has anyone found a solution to this?
    Can I find a procedure to dismantle the console to inspect the controller for any jumpers/switches?

    Also I would be interested to find a way to read consumption in L/100km.

    That however, may be a matter of hidden menus like in Gen2. Any advances on how to hack the settings?

    Cheers, M

    There's a button on the dash to switch between MPH and km/h--have your tired that? Does it also change the consumption info?

    The temp question might be addressed in the owner's manual.

    That button only changes MPH & KM/hr

    It is not a user settable option but some may have hacked it like they did on Gen2.

    I am looking for an actual solution not "see if you can't find it in the manual". I am on my second Prius and I probably had found out by now if the KM/Miles button does this...

    Anybody?
