Default Unlock your digital spedo (FYI)

Hey all

This will give you digital readings for your speed in mph, the amount of fuel left in miles to go, your revs in digital form, your engine temperature plus more.

NOTE!!!!!This process will not harm your car in any way you just loose your current odometer reading.
Functions



Gage Test
Dial Test
Bulb Test
N/A
N/A
Clock Type (shows “date 44” if UK)
Un
Speed MPH
Speed KPH
Revs
Fuel
Engine Type
Temp of Engine
Battery Voltage
N/A
LCD Display
(17-30 N/A)


now i had a quick play but its quite over rated and you have to do it every time you start the car.

what you do is have the car turned off push in the odometer trip button for 10 secs then keep it held down and start teh car and dont let go till you see the word test come up then you can let go and press the button to cycle through the different things

Yeah its the same process as it is for the focus models

Pointless as it doesnt stay like that when you turn the car off and you lose the odo reading which i use a heap

Pity its not like the E series ones which at least keep the current odo reading

do you lose the odo or tripmeter readings. I thought odo readings weren't allowed to be altered by law?

Obviously the tripmeter reading....

Deja vu big time for me, as I used to constantly use it in the EF so i knew how much (or mostly how less) fuel i had to play with before it ran out...
