    AC/RADIO unit replacement units (Celsius or Farenheiht)

    Hey guys, looking to replace my unit because the buttons/screen are worn out.

    I'm from Canada and our units are Celsius... if I buy a US part will it affect the units? Or is that programmed with the car?

    Welcome to the Forum!

    It will take from the car for the degree F or C. IIRC you can code it in, but on the E-9x you can change it in the setting for the OBC or I-Drive.

    It will need programming. This isn't a difficult process, but these units should be coded to the car they go into.
