and my mileage went from 40900 to 27k.... now what the hell is up with that?

Cool, you just doubled the re-sale value of your car!!

runninma1 · 11-09-2006, 07:50 AM

I wish that were true but it specifically says MI.... and there is nothing in the manual that says i can change it to km...

Im lost?

Maybe your car was showing kilometers before, and is now showing miles??

I was gonna say, km now to miles. but not possible that this entire time you were driving with the digital speedo in km. when the reading is in km, the speed reading is in km.

runninma1 · 11-09-2006, 07:55 AM

that doesnt make sense either.. when doing the conversion from km to miles its 1.5k short of being correct.

Here's what you do! Trade your car in for more than you paid for it, because it now has far-far less miles on it! Then, take the proceeds from your sale and get a newer car or upgarde to the "S" (if not an "S" now). Win-win!!

You can change the digital display to read either MPH or KPH;

To change:
You have two dials to the left and right of your tach.

1. Turn right dial counterclockwise and hold for 5 sec's

Travis, do you have a quick fix for changing the time from AM/PM to 24hours, rather than going to the dealership?

On the newer models 2004 and above i think you can do it via the OBC, but have not figured it out on a 2000 yet.

sorry.

Ok update.. it is not in km and it didnt change... i did the cinversion to see if indeed it made sense.. and when i converted my previous mileage to km it didnt add. up... something is wacked.. maybe the cluster was replaced and it didnt reset to the cars actual mileage?

my boxster is on crack
