V8V - switching speedo to km/h

[lazerbrain]

I did try a search...

Is there a button sequence to switch the digital speedo from miles to km on a 2007 V8V?

thanks,

Darren.

Yes there is I inadvertantly put mine into kms when trying to put the wipers into 'cleaning' position. I think its press and hold buttons 1 and 6 on the ICE system then turn ignition on...If your wipers park mid screen I'm wrong...Could be 2 and 6 ????? Sure someone will be along soon to tell you correct method.

Yes (can't remember what it is though!)

Ignition switch at position II. Then press the Read button (next to the T1 / T2 button) and the button on the end of the left stalk together, and hold for 3 seconds. Display will then toggle between mph and kph.

To put windscreen wipers into the 90 degree position its hold buttons 8 and 9 and then turn ignition switch from 0 to position II.

Thank you. :-) Just tested it.

Cool, thanks Neil! I'm assuming that works on a DB9 as well, though things usually have to be simplified for Vantage owners...

No difference - same dashboard on early models. Although most DB9 owners won't be able to do it as their age related arthritis will make it impossible to press two buttons simultaneously!

Nicely done my friend, nicely done!

Unless you have an ECU in which case it's 2 and 6

Also, if you press 3 and 7 and turn the right indicator on (ignition position II) you get Tetris on the right hand instrument read out.

Actually I thought if I put my car in kph then I won't realise just how quick we are going

But that will also give me bragging rights because if you are cruising(?) at 150 then I will be at 240 !!...Which as the thread yesterday makes

probably the same, try it, if not just RTFM

DB11 entirely different - so how do you change Speedo from MPH to KPH please . Ian .

[Calinours]

Wow, another thread ‘resurrection’ after 13 years and the the same question but on an entirely different car.

Switching kmh to mph and vice versa on DB11 is simple, it’s in the settings menu same as normal cars.

Holy thread resurrection batman!

This works with a V12V 5935na model too!
