Climate Control, Metric to English

[Bill51SDR]

Hi all!

I'm new to the forum, but not new to 3 series... Until recently owned a '98 M3 conv. and miss it. Anyway, a friend of mine just bought an E46 330i and we are missing the climate control manual. Her climate control displays currently show settings in Celsius & I know there must be an easy way to get it back to Fahrenheit. Anyone able to help out? Thanks in advance!

mine allows me to change it when I press the left button on the speedo. it changes the outside temp display as well as the climate control.

Thanks Yogi for the reply. Not too sure what you mean by the 'left button on the speedo' though, as I do not have access to the car. I will be calling my friend and explaining to her how to do it over the phone. Can you be a little more specific about the location of this button in your car, and would an '03 330i have the same thing? Thanks!

On my 2005 E46, there a 2 small black plastic knobs that stick out from the speedometer/instrument housing. I could swear that it is the knob on the right that changes the outside temp display and the climate control display into metric/American. Just push and hold it for a very short time.

Thanks guys! I'll have her take a look. Appreciate the help

Push the right rubber knob coming out of the instrument cluster to switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius (also switches the clock from 12 hour with AM/PM to 24 hour). The left rubber knob resets the trip odometer.
