Hi everybody.

The car is a brand new LS600h L 2008 (woot!)

Is there a way to switch units from Fahrenheit to Celsius?

How can european navsat map be loaded to the system?

I tried to find this setting in the owner manual but with no luck.

thnx for the help.

Welcome to CL, insanes! Congrats on the LS 600h L!

From our information, there is not a known way to change from F to C, apparently the cars come from the factory with the temp gauge set depending on the region; Canada-spec Lexus models get C gauges. The following threads discussed this:

Additionally, I'm not sure it would be easy to switch to Euro satnav data, because the US navigation is HDD-based and the Euro system is DVD based, IIRC.

Wish I could offer more helpful advice, we recently had another poster wanting to change the FM tuner to European frequencies as well, which may also be a challenge.

Hope you enjoy your car!

if euro nav are dvd based, then i say there are very slim chances of the conversion

Where are you in FL and which dealership did you get your LS600hL from? I know it isn't my dealership. They have still only delivered one.

Chandler Lexus actually contacted Japan for me on this and no, you can't change it on the LS. Seems bizzare as it is a world car and my wife's Camry convert can change, but there you are.

This has been one of my complaints. Not being able to see temp in C on a $80K luxobarge is the biggest BS I've seen - after the nav lockout of course.
