When you buy a car, you may be happy to know that it comes with a speedometer in kilometers. But what if you want to change it to miles? It may not be as easy as you think. In this article, we will explore the process of changing your car’s speedometer from kilometers to miles and provide tips on how to do it successfully. We will also discuss some potential problems that can occur along the way, so that you can avoid them as much as possible.
How to change speedometer from km to miles
Assuming you have a 2009 or newer VW Jetta, there is an easy way to change the speedometer from kilometers to miles. This is done by removing 3 screws located in the center console and removing the speedometer. The plastic housing that holds the speedometer can then be removed. There are several companies that sell replacement speedometers that are calibrated in miles. Simply remove the old one and replace it with the new one. Be sure to reset the mileage reading back to km if you choose this route.
How to set the new speedometer in your car
Step 1: Remove the speedometer from your car.
Step 2: Unscrew the screws that hold the meter in place.
Step 3: Lift off the meter and set it aside.
Step 4: On the new meter, measure the distance from one end to another. This will be your new km marker.
Step 5: Measure the distance from one screw hole to another on your old meter. This will be your old mile marker.
Step 6: Screw in the new meter so that it lines up with your old kilometer marker and inch mark, and screw in the screws. Replace the cover and you’re done!
What is the difference between km and miles?
The “Km” speedometer equivalent to miles in a car is determined by multiplying the “Km/h” speed by 1000. For example, if the car is going 50km/h, then the speedometer will show as 50000km which would be equal to 500 miles. Conversely, if the car is going 100km/h, then the speedometer will show as 1000km which would be equal to 100 miles.
Conclusion
If you’re looking to change the speedometer reading on your car from kilometers to miles, there are a few things you need to know. First of all, you’ll need to find the correct voltage for your car. In most cases, this will be 12 volts. Next, find the right wire for the job – usually it’s red and black. Finally, use a splitter or a converter box to take thevoltage down from 12 volts so that it can be used by your car’s speedometer. Once you have everything set up, simply plug in your device and away you go!
