Funny had this car for many years never done the maths miles show 145501. on kms shows 132801 (82518 miles) do I add both together to get total mileage as if that's the case I should be on the moon by now.
No, all it does is converts the current mileage to km instead of miles. You can see if the odometer has rolled over by multiplying the miles by 1.6 and comparing the numbers. Your 145501 miles is correct. It also changes the speed to kmph instead of miles per hour.
Using this trick is how I know, and can verify that my 86 cougar has 336k miles on it.
OK I see the display won't go above 199999.9 so it's 232801 kms or 145501 miles.
Exactly. There is also amnifty little trick where you can solder a jumper to the w-2 port on the LCD board, then the speedo will read up to 199mph instead of stopping atm85mph.
But how would I ever know the mod to read 199 mph would work? :hick:
We have 80mph speed limits here, the fact that the speedo stops at 85mph is a bit annoying. There are a few 85mph speed limits in the middle or nowhere and just over the border in nevada. In my dumber years I had my digi dash over 120mph.
The w2 jumper mod works and you can find details on coolcats. I've seen 140 on mine.
