OK, I've dug for a while and can't seem to find the solution....

I'm in the process of moving US to CA and importing a pair of vehicles: my '13 LX570 and '16 BMW 328d. On the BMW I went into the idrive interface (generic vehicle settings) and selected KM/deg C and DONE! Everything changed perfectly, digital speedo, distance, fuel range, trip meter, ODO, temp display.... So far on the LX the ONLY thing I have found I can change is the digital speedo...

Has anyone done this? Can it be accessed in TechStream?

THANKS!

Don’t need tech stream, You can change it in settings. It’s under general settings -> unit of measure.

So this seems to only change the unit of measure within the Nav system, no effect on the main display units.

I also found info from another forum to set the display to ODO and hold the trip select button for 3+ seconds. It didn't change the units but did allow for turning OFF Eco mode...

I think I may need to find a friend with TS I can dig thru.
 
Before looking for someone to lend techstream help... What can be customized via teachstream was covered in this thread
 
Awesome info, I see a section called "unit conversion" certainly seems like a good target!

Thanks!
 
I was in tech stream a few days ago and saw options to change this, along with the units used for fuel economy calculation/display.
 
Update.

I got into TS and went thru every single menu. I was able to change the units to KM/L so now all the fuel range/consumption and average speeds in the digital menus are KM/L but no change could be found for either the ODO/Trip readouts or the temp setting for HVAC. I found THIS thread that looks like I may need to flash the display sensors with a Canadian interface. There is a lot that the US interface doesn't allow access to.

@eatSleepWoof any chance you can snap a pic of the screen you saw? Which side of the border is your LX from originally?

I'm awaiting to receive a new OBD2 cable and that's the next time I'll be in Techstream. I'll take some photos when I'm in there, but might be a few weeks until that cable arrives from China.

My LX was made for the Canadian market.

Where about in Canada are you moving to?
 
@eatSleepWoof no worries sir! I don't think this is gonna get sorted very quickly... THANKS!

I imported an '08 LC to Canada and was able to change all the units except the temp. If anybody has any luck changing the temperature displays I would love to hear how they did it. As nearly as I can tell the computer for the clock is the one responsible for the temp units. You may have better luck because they do have LX's up here.
 
@GordJ reviving this thread now that I'm up here and a fair bit more settled in. I've not made any progress on changing ODO/Trip meters to KM...what did you do?

THANKS!!
