Imperial to Metric Odometer Conversion
Just moved back to Canada with my '09 JK that I bought a couple of months ago in Wisconsin. I'm wondering if there is any way to convert my odometer to metric rather than imperial. I talked to a guy at the dealership here and he didn't have any good ideas, so I though I'd throw this out there. Its either that or get really good at doing the conversion in my head... not too hard I suppose but thought I'd check.

That's a quote from your owner's manual, BTW. I know it's sometimes hard to find things in there, which is why many of us have downloaded the .pdf version from Jeep.com. A search of "metric" turned that answer up in about two seconds.

I wish it were that easy, but that will only change the items in the left hand display like temp. and gas milage. The trip odometer and total odometer still reads in Imperial. Any other suggestions?

You're stuck with the miles display, but it is really a small matter. Won't lower resale value. Mental conversion is simple. Don't sweat it. I moved from Canada to US a long time ago and for the longest time refused to relinquish the metric system - still use the metric settings in the cluster - but it just doesn't matter.

Ya that's what I figured. That's alright, not the end of the world, just thought I'd throw this out there. Don't blame you for wanting to give up the metric system, unfortunately I have it the other way around though!
