How odd as I am sure I posted this. I must have forgot to press send :eek:

Anyway. On the computer you can set the clocks to show MPH or KPH. If I change this to KPH does that change the speedo to read the smaller KPH digits on the dial? Handy for when I go to Holland.

Have you been drinking? :devil:

I thought the same when I read this yesterday. ;)

The odometer will change to kilometers, but the speedometer needle will remain the same. You just read your speed from the small digits KPH scale instead of the normal MPH scale.

Whats wrong with that. Its not like its a cable speedo. Being electronic and having the ability on motorbikes seems like a reasonable question to me. I don't look at the small KPH numbers, if I am lucky I peer at them :D Why do car manufacturers make them so small or use colours that clash with the background colours.

Possibly because 99% of RHD cars never go to a LHD country. I can't think of any RHD country that has a land border with a LHD one, so it's not really necessary.

If manufacturers made the KPH digits on the dial bigger, they could get confused with the MPH ones.

Funny how we in the UK tend to get smaller KPH on our clocks but mainland Europe who get the KPH tend not to have smaller MPH. My mate cant adjust back when he visits as he has been over there that long. As for LHD/RHD land borders there is a few

That lotus bridge looks quite interesting

Can you display current speed on the stilo computer display? that should change from MPH to KPH if you can. Must look at that further. I only ever look at the average MPG and the odd time instant MPG.
