Documenting My Journey to Buy a Grenadier in Canada

[Dogwood]

Hi from Vancouver, B.C. Sorry if I am late to the party on this issue... I have a 2024 Trialmaster, purchased at Weissach Vancouver in July 2024. My first trip to Moab, UTAH in October 2024 I was surprised and incredibly dissapointed to realized I was unable to switch from KPH to MPH. This trip included hours of highway driving while searching the settings and 2 calls to Weissach for help. It was confirmed not possible to switch from KPH to MPH. A year later in fall of 2025 I had a service update and it fixed this limitation. I am now able to very easily switch back and forth. SETTINGS....GENERAL....UNIT.....Choose "Kilometres" or "Miles".

Very interesting. And good to know that’s an option on vehicles sold in Canada. It’s too bad US sold vehicles don’t have this option. I’m sure it’s a trivial firmware install for a dealer to fix this on an imported vehicle, but convincing a dealer to do so would be another matter.

Is this legislation in the USA to not allow you to swap your vehicle to kmh when travelling.
I recall seeing older US cars having only mph on the speedo when we had started putting kmh inside the main dial. Did European vehicles with traditional dials have the kmh inset in the dial or were yours changed? Seems an odd requirement!
