500e california tire pressure and consumption units changed

Hi,
I own a Fiat 500e 2017 model from California.
All worked fine until the Uconnect radio unit failed.
Replaced it with an aftermarket Android type one.
Issues since are:
I cannot change the tire pressure units of the TPMS - they are in PSI now. Same for cusumption - previous values were in kW/km now they are in MPGe (miles per Galoon equivalent)
I compared old proxy settings with new ones, but there are virtually no differences. I actually re-loaded the old proxy values and di an alignment - no difference.
Anyone having any ideas?

Thanks
Sigi

Hi!
As you know this settings is available on uConnect only...
So if you changed your uConnect with android radio you may have similar settings in it.
If no, than only way is set it with MES via CAN monitor // Vehicle settings...

Thanks, yes, the new radio has similar settings, but apparently those after market devices aren't set up for electric vehicles and thus the consumption unit - whatever I set it to - ends up showing the US units.
Tire pressure settings aren't available at all.
Regarding MES - where do I find the CAN monitor - vehical settings you mentioned?
Sorry - might be stupid question, but so far I only used MES to change settings and do proxy alignments...
Thanks

it can be found on the body tab on the left side, then press can monitor/ vehicle settings. Should be able to change your settings there.

Well, this is my problem then, because this menu point doesn't exist for the 500e - attached screen shot shows what I have available - there is no such setting as CAN monitor / vehicle settings - unless there is a secret control code to be pressed on the keyboard - like the custom proxy one...

What version of MES are you using?

4.7 - looking at a newer - though unregistered - version, I now see what you mean...
Trying to upgrade my version to 5.0 it tells me my license no longer being valid ...
Upgraded to version 4.8, which also has this vehicel settings option.
Connected, but I don't see any tire pressure unit settings here either.
At least the consumption unit I thought I could change - wrong...
To whatever I set it and apply, it reverts back to l/km, which doesn't make sense on an electric car. I'm guessing the new Android radio is constantly overwriting the settings I try to implement.
If anyone has another idea, lease let me know, but I guess I'll have to live with it for now :-(
