But then half of the computerized inputs did not respond. The vehicles are substantially different. The dealer finally wound up purchasing a second Canadian module, since they had exchanged the first one for the US module and physically disassembling the dash modules and replacing the MPH ring with the MPH as the big numbers. Everything is fine now but look how small the inner ring numbers are and ask yourself can you live with that? Vehicles built for the foreign markets, even Canada, are not necessarily the same. In fact all the paperwork had an exclusion "For Sale in Canada Only." EH!

Now if the switch from KPH to MPH is different on the SD, please comment. I don't have one to check out the difference.
