Technical Mileage problem

[Petra76]

Hi I have had to buy a new instrument cluster for my 2015 pop , we have replaced the unit but it is still showing the mileage from the car out must have been taken off, my car has done 19k this is showing 113k we have tried to disconnect the negative leave for 15 mins then reconnect and start engine with door closed but no luck , any suggestions how to get our original mileage to connect please

Hi welcome, so, unfortunately, if replacing the speedo its essential to get one with a mileage lower than your old one, its possible to increase the figure but not "clock" or reduce it, yours only having 19k on is a problem, bar replacing it again you're stuck, sorry.

As above you can't reduce the current mileage to math the rest of your car
At least not with any normal software

There is kit out there that can change the mileage downwards! If you contact member "typecast boy" who runs the you tube channel "love 500" he would be able to advise you!

So I was told that the CPU that held the mileage was not held on the motherboard attached to the unit is this not true, we even tried to put the new lcd on the old motherboard which worked but the lcd was upside down and bitty but held the correct milage

@typecastboy are you able to offer any help , I still have my old lcd and unit and have tried to put the new lcd on the original board but the digits are upside down

Mileage is set on the engine ECU but will display whatever the speedo reads. You can adjust it upwards using Multiecuscan but not downwards. I have the kit to set it up or down. You will need to do a proxy alignment anyway. If you want to post it to me and pay for postage back to you, I am happy to set it to whatever mileage you want.

You can't unless you have specific kit to be able to do it. MultiECUScan can up mileage but not reduce it. I do have the kit to be able to do it and can adjust it to the exact mileage of your car. It needs to be put into a car temporarily to do it and next week, I shall be changing a dash in which case the speedo comes out so I would be able to do it for you if you wanted to send it to me. I'll adjust it and send it back. You would need to do a proxy alignment using MultiECUScan as the mileage will flash. When that is done it will align to your car.

When you are i. The Netherlands, I’m able to do milleage adjustment. Up and down.

I already swapped from old type cluster to TFT.
Did several mileage adjustments in Fiat 500 community Netherlands.

When I find an affordable TFT I'd really like to change it. Although I start to get used to it,I find the analog speedo hard to read.
