VIDA/DICE - can I reprogram DIM temp units to Celcius myself

pierremcalpine · Mar 10th, 2015, 13:30

Hi,
I'm new to DICE. Just got it hooked up, seems to read information alright but I thought I would be able to change the outside temperature display so that it reads C instead of F...is that possible? I got as far as adjusting the setting and then selecting the C instead of F and hit "program" but then waited for about a minute and hit "hide"...am I doing something wrong?

Should be doable, I don't remember that screen but it should be similar to this procedure in whatever module controls that. http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showpo...59&postcount=9 I'll take a look tonight.

Thanks, yep. That's where I was. I couldn't get the "yes" to appear at the top like your screen displayed. I just got dashes...?

finally got it. I'm thinking that sometimes it may be necessary to turn the car off and turn it back on as VIDA only allows for a single change or reading per ignition cycle. Anyhow I did finally get it changed. Pretty cool thing, that DICE!
