Default Changing English to Metric ??

I just bought a 2006 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro from the United States. I am looking for an easy way (if possible or not) to change the readings on the car from the English system (miles & fahrenheit) to the Metric system (kilometers and celcius). Any idea's?

Any hints on where to get an online owners manual for this car? The previous owner somehow managed to loose it - nice!

Last but not least, is there a way for me to switch on the daytime running light system? This is one thing I must do to make the car compliant in Canada.

Sure, I know - go to the Audi dealership right? I can always do that, but then anybody can pay $500 to have the conversion to the metric system done, $300 for a new manual and probably a grand to do the lights. Heck, I might as well as have bought the car here in Canada for those costs.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Cheers!

I am pretty sure you can do all those changes through Vag-Com. You can see the mods here:

i hope youre kidding witrh those prices.... a service manager would probably show you how to do all that for free... the running lights were probably turn off via pulling a fuse, the metric conversion is probably very easy, and a manual costing 300 makes me laugh

It is all done through Vag-com. You change your country codes on the central electronics and instrument panel to canada.
