Miles to KM
I know that the trip meters can switch back and forth from miles to km, but I would like to get the main odometer to read km instead of miles, not easily done apparently on my 2001 XK8.
Is there a way the dealer can do this through the car's computer, like turning on the DRL? Or is there a hack for this without replacing the whole unit? |

The only way I think you can accomplish this is reloading / replace the original file dump for another vehicle file dump that match market needs like an european or south american markets. They use KM instead miles. It's a very simple procedure (*) and always can be reverted. (*) if you have the right tools, programmer and the knowledge..) The info you want to change is located inside the MCU MOTOROLA maskset 0E57S (9S12DG128 or 68HC11KA4) Axel |
