996 Carrera speedo(2004)

[R6RY D]

i was wondering what was involved in changing a speedo from mph to kph? (looking to
take it overseas)
are the bits hard to get? how much will it cost too get get done? any specialist out there that can help?

If it's the same as a 1999 model then you can change the digital mph to kph with a press of a button. I can't remember the exact sequence but your handbook will tell you. If you don't have a handbook then a call to your OPC will have you sorted.

Found this very useful when I did a Euro trip last year.

Dont you press & hold down the trip reset button, something like that - it just changes the digital readout to km, though of course the speedo still reads in MPH.

You can do this as I have done it before but I cant remember how

If a 996 model then turn the ignition on and turn the clock adjust knob to the left, then hold it there for 10 seconds.

If a 997 then use the on board computer to change over. Set; units; speedo miles to Kms.

Hope that helps.

edited to add: I presume you were aware that the digital speed readout on the dash could be altered from miles per hour to kms per hour. They think of everything these Germans
