Fahrenheit vs Celcius

Hi,
I would like to have A/C controls (front and rear) showing Celcius and not Fahrenheit. Also a speedometer that shows km/h on the outer ring and mp/h on the inner ring on the speedometer.
I have a 2005 Touring - does someone have these units and want to have US instead? How about an exchange?
Are the units in general interchangable or is there some "rebooting" necessary, or to make it easy does it work like "plug and play"?
Does someone know if there is a way to switch from Fahrenheit to Celcius without changing the controls; like on the BMW - there you do not have to go to the dealer to do so.

Uh oh. I sense that this thread is about to turn into a debate on the two measuring systems!

Here is why…

It is not my intention to start a debate over the systems metric vs. whatever…
I’m going overseas and I will take my Ody with me.
To go along with the local authorities I like to make some modifications.
Still, is it possible to change from Fahrenheit to Celsius by just pressing a button?

Thanks kellerus
