Subject: Switching A/C to degrees C

A few people have asked how to change the 3er digital climate control system (IHKA) to show degrees Celsius rather than degrees Fahrenheit. Me, for example. :) After playing around a bit on my dealer's DIS, I discovered how. Well, on a German DIS at least.

You can find it under menus that look something like the following (I'm guessing the translations):

Coding

     E36 series
       Central coding key
         Modification
           IHKA
             Temperature C/F

This does not change the 'central coding key' (ZCS) so there is no need to print a new sticker. After changing temperature scales, you need to pull the air conditioning fuses or disconnect the battery for ten seconds to put the change into effect.
