Default Eng/Met

Every time I start my corvette 1992 it starts in English mode displaying mph and f degrees, I’m taking this car with me when I move back to Europe this summer, And would like it to start in Metric mode when I start the car displaying km/h and c degrees, since that’s the standard in Europe, How can I do this, is it possible??

Its harder on a 92 because it’s a push buttom, when you start the car its in Eng mode and then you puch the buttom once and it goes to Met, push again and goes back to Eng. And every time you start the car its in Eng mode,,, So to get it to Met you have to push the buttom once every time you start, and I want it to start in Met mode,

Are you telling us - you switch it to metric, and turn it off, then when you restart, it is in english?

Maybe they make a euro central control module. Probably cheaper to just push the button.

You could build a circuit to "push" the button every time you start the car. Similar to what many folks do for the ASR button.
