cluster conversion from mph to kms
What needs to be done to convert from mph to kms? I'm looking at 2 that are both in mph and would like now what the process would be (if at all possible) to convert

Thanks

It is a very interesting mod. I am curious to learn if anyone has done this, and if so what parts do you need and how long did it take to install. Do you also need to adjust car's computer so the speedo will work correctly with the new cluster?

Thats true, but what if you get rid of the MPH entirely.

speedo shows both but mileage and trip comp is mph
what happens to the mileage when you plug in a km cluster and does any other component need to be reprogrammed?

I do know the dealer can reprogram the odometer to read in kms, I know this because mine has been switched over in this manner. The analog guages; however still read with MPH as the primary measure which is a real pain given the kms are written in a tiny font.
