Hello, I tried searching on here as well as with google and came up empty handed. I can’t figure out how to change the V8 scan and tune software on my laptop from metric to imperial. My handheld is imperial, but the software is metric. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did this a few days ago, let me double check how I did it

( at bottom of V8 scantool click on Configure button and then select Settings... Units is under there )

Ive tried this but still cant get PID selection to change over. dash and everything will show MPH etc but not when building pids for logging

Try this. Open V8 scan/tune, go to Scan Tool, click on F3: Data, then right click on one PID and choose "Select All." Then right click on a PID again and click on "Default Metric (Euro) Units." You can also choose Imperial if that's what you're after.

Thank you
Maybe I’m overthinking it. I can get the f3 data to change but nothing transfer over on the f2 PIDs screen.

Alright, click on the Config button near the bottom of the screen, then go to Units under General. If you click on the Default Units tab, you can choose Metric or Imperial. You might need to highlight all the groups, you can press Ctrl+A to highlight them all, then click the Metric or Imperial button. See if that gets things switched the way you want them.

Yea I’ve done that every possible way I could try. From what I can see I will just select them as metric and on data page change them the way I need. I just just trying to visually see what I wanted on the f2 PIDs page but overall that page doesn’t matter it seems as long as my end result comes out the same. Now I’m just trying to use the 7.5 Autotune write up and build everything back in V8 and build the calculated pid’s used in the write up
