Changing the milage

[rmagictastic]

is it possible to change the digital milage count on an FD to reflect the age in miles??

eg.  mine says 52000 could this have been changed to reflect milage or is it km??

thanks

Yes, digital mileage can be cahnged and its legal as long as you inform any new buyer.

If you search \'digital mileage correction\' on the net there are loads of ppl who will do it.

I was looking at getting this done on mine.  I found this place which converts the KM\'s to miles and turns off the KM light and lights up the MILES light.

Nigel at RX-Heaven brought the kit for doing this, but from what I remember there was a bit missing from the kit, I\'m not sure if its turned up yet or not! Might be worth giving him a call.

I thought the KM to Miles on the light could not be done. Can anyone confirm? Has anyone had this done?

you do need the specific software to do this as i have tried doing it in work as we are constantly working on chips but the coding is pretty complicated and we couldnt see any patterns, we tried reading the code then did say 10 miles and compared the code and found nothing obvious.

getting the chip is easy so is programming it but its knowing what info needs to be changed to give specific milege thats the tricky bit.

i asked a lot of people who do this \'on the side\' and none of them could do it for me, although they could do just about anything else.

It can be done though

I know a guy in B\'ham who has done it.
