w203 2005 c180 Komressor Elegance SE A with the twin dial speedo and rev counter

I've been sitting in my car trying to get the outside temp to display in the lower display cluster with no success. Only reads (digital) speed. I did change the time last week. But this has got me stumped. I can get to Instument cluster but after that only MPH or KPH using the + and -. Hell I even figured out how to reset the service indicator. So what am I doing wrong?

You need someone with Star diagnostics to tell the instrument cluster that's it's in the "rest of the world" as opposed to the UK, as there's no km displayed on the Speedo by default. Then you can display the temp.

I've done it on my w203 but I have Star. Took only 5 mins

If it's the same as our 230 and 210 go to the odometer page then press up/down buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to display outside temperature.

That sounds about right. Must it be a Star or are there any other cheaper units like say the
iCarSoft Mercedes/Smart MB II that could do it?
