Odometer and trip odometer suddenly in kilometers - how to switch back?

So my high OBC instrument cluster suddenly changed from miles to km. 2006 e53.

This is not the fuel consumption - still in miles, nor the temperature - still in F, not C.

Not sure how it happened, but can't find out how to switch back.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I tried the battery nap - no love. I checked PA Soft - everything was metric, so I changed the 3 - temp, consumption and mileage - to US measures and wrote the IKE module. That corrected the mileage - yay!

Now the time/date /consumption data in the OBC reading in the cluster don't work (do not show) on cycling the button. Also, can't change the units in the nav head unit - both metric and Us units show, but they are locked too US. They did previously. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

OK, figured it out. Seems that doing a battery nap clears the programming for the OBC, had to go back into PA Soft and change string from No Display to Bordmonitor.

Thanks for your help!

Hey Cary, you weren't given much help. LOL. Anyway, I'm glad you figured it out. On my friend's E39 which is a Canada car, we were able to switch his odometer/trip odo to Miles, and temp to F vs C using INPA.
