Default How to change from km to miles in A8 2015?

I'm driving from Canada to Florida and can't figure out how to change the speedometer from km to miles...took about 3 seconds on my old S-Class.

Not a very user friendly manual IMO.

Help?

If you are asking about speedometer I think that can't be done. Not even on D4.

Are you talking about the speedometer or the odometer? The speedometer is already marked in both mph and km.

US market Audi's have both but Canadian just metric. I believe all metric are just metric.

Now that makes sense! I guess Canadians never drive over the border!

Or once you are metric there is no way back.

I did find out how to change from km to miles on everything but the speedometer...using menu setup, which seemed a strange place to hide it.

My Merc S-Class had a simple way to change the speedometer to/from km. And when you changed the speedometer to miles it also showed the km next to the speedometer..and the other way if the speedimeter was in km. Very strange that Audi would do this in the US but not Canada. I find it strange to see mph on the windshield but not on the speedometer.

I think I might have the answer, don't know if it will work however.

In the MMI, hit setup. Open the menu measurement units, change the distance from km to mls. Once that's done it will change your odometer over to miles.

If you hit the menu button on the steering wheel, I think there will be a menu option " digital speedometer " it will display in the driver info display in the instrument cluster.

Hope this helps
