G'day guys.

I have a 2005 Ford F150 equipped with a Mini Message Centre.

Can you please tell me how to switch the Temperature Display in the Mini Message Centre from Fahrenheit to Celsius?

VIN# 1FTPW14565FA67327

 

Go here and download your truck's manual...

Thanks for the reply.

I have read the manual and for mini message centre, and the manual advises to have a dealer complete the change.

My problem is I am in Australia and the truck was manufactured in the U.S..

So, I have been unable to find a dealer that can help.

 

Oh, the mini message centre.

You'll need to find a willing Ford dealer to do it. I believe they have to reprogram the cluster.

 

Yeah thanks again.

From the research I have done, it's clear the cluster will need to be reprogrammed.

That's what I have to find, a dealer with the Ford IDS tool and software loaded that covers the 2005 F150.

 

Yep, that's what you need to find. Good luck!

 

An update here guys.

I am posting this as I spent a huge amount of time researching and communicating with dealerships and mechanical workshops to try and solve my issue, and losing hair in the process.

I have a 2005 Ford F150 FX4 Roush Supercharged that was imported to Australia from the U.S.A. and converted to RHD.

The Instrument Cluster has a Mini Message Centre, displaying Odometer in KM and Outside Temperature in Fahrenheit.

In Australia, we are not so familiar with Fahrenheit and we are a Metric operating Country, hence Celsius is the UOM most commonly used for Temperature here.

I then discovered FORSCAN, cue parting of the Red Sea images!

Firstly, Forscan crew were able to set up access to the PCM etc. by having me load the original "Stock" PCM code.
This is an extremely important point, as my 150 has had the PCM reprogrammed by Roush to suit the Supercharger etc..

Secondly, I was able to get an Extended Licence version of Forscan which enabled me to reconfigure the Outside Temperature display to Celsius!!!

V is for Victory.

A is Awesome.

Thank-you guys at Forscan, you have been bloody great, so helpful.

 

Quite interesting! Glad to hear you got it working just the way you want it.
