Anyone know if it is possible without taking half the car apart or desolder chips, to switch the odometer from miles to kilometers?
I think you can just buy and fit alternative dials. People on here have changed them for aesthetic reasons so I assume you should be able to buy imperial and metric versions.
I'd guess it was coding, now whether you can reprogram that via the ODB2 with a dealership level tool I'm not sure. Maybe someone who's imported a Copen and had it done the other way around might know how it was done, or you could try asking for a quote from somewhere that imports? Odometer Rob not the speedometer, the mileage readout.
Yeah, Odo not Speedo. The DS-2 doesn't allow for changing from miles to km, so I'm assuming that I'd have to remove the unit and alter the chips
Ah, okay. It will probably require a new unit and then find some way to adjust the odo to the true mileage (km) which would normally be done at the dealer but we’re a bit screwed on that front. I’m pretty sure it’ll be the same chip but just factory configured differently.
