Need help - Bought a used Canada market car and need to get the KPH changed to MPH....permanently

[LagoCJ]

Hey all...new to Mustang, but not new to Ford/Forscan. I just got a beautiful GT Premium Convertible, with all the toys, from a dealer in IL. The car was a Canada market car that was brought into the US last year. It's in amazing shape, with low miles, but the metric displays are driving me nuts. I have adjusted the settings in the IVI (show MPH, show F degrees), but the main speed display still reads in KPH, with a much smaller MPH readout above. The oil/water temps still show in C, while the outside temperature now shows in F. I dove into Forscan to try to find some settings to make it act like a US spec car, without the mixed up displays, but that was not helpful. Anyone have any ideas or magic on where I can look to finally de-metric my car, for good??

Here's what I found on a Google search using ForScan: Change Country Code to US, change the country code hex value from 4341 (CA for Canada) to 5553 (US for United States).Modules to modify: Apply this change to both the APIM configuration and the IPC configuration.
Hope this is helpful!

Glad to help

That took care of the KMH to MPH issue, which was the most concerning. Without this fix, the speed sign recognition, and most of the advanced safety features were not usable. This was beside the fact that the MPH readout was only about 1/4" tall and buried in the display.

HUGE thanks for helping me out!!!

Fantastic!! I didn't even consider the safety feature issues! Have a great weekend!

Country code is also in the GWM and TCU, but if everything is working, I would leave it alone.

I will check on the GWM and TCU when I do a more thorough pass with Forscan. But, for now, having the MPH reading and cruise working correctly makes all the difference!! Love an active and knowledgeable community. Thanks!!

I made that comment just FYI. I would like to reiterate that if your connectivity and everything is working, then I would leave those areas alone.
