Hi All Just put in the Magic Magnet in our 2006 GEM and can’t figure out how to change speedometer from MPH to Kilometers. I don’t have a manual so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ken ---

Hold the trip button in for 10 seconds or so. ---

Could you steer me in the direction of a manual for this vehicle? We bought it a few months ago and it came with no books of any sort. A manual would be a big help for the future. Thanks so much for you help. Ken ---

I should hope so. Just to help you out, Along the right side for the post shows the date of the post and replies. Some of these carry on for a while. Somehow you got into one that was last replied to around Jul 2018. Maybe you had the same question/problem? Many solutions can be found by checking the archives using keywords related to your problem. If still unable to resolve your problem just start a new thread instead of tacking on to one that may be several years old. To answer the original question of how to switch from MPH to KPH it is a REALLY long press/hold of the Trip button. It could be up to 10 secs. I think it needs to be displaying ODO and not the Trip miles. Or were you referring to a source for the manuals? In which you send a message to the address above with your request and he will see what he can do.
