From memory i think it does pretty sure it upped my quotes when i added the conversion on my Dx.

Best bet just do 2 moneysupermarket searches one with manual conversion one with auto

Then you can't afford to drive.

If you're fronting anyway there's no point declaring the change. You're insurance is invalid either way.
