Earl Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 This is a 2017 Hoda Fit Hit. Can the odometer be reset to show miles instead of kilometers? Miles are shown at about every 10 mile interval on the spedometer, but I want to have accuracy down to the tenth of a mile. Thank you for your replies and thank you all for all the replies regarding Mexican plates in the US. I really liked the suggestion of a US dealer plate holder or even an NFL or NLB team! Go Cards! Go Chiefs! Go Blues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Have you tried reading the instruction manual that comes with the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floradude Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Look in the computer program instructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 My Honda CRV simply has two sets of markings on the speedo, the big set are KM, the small, basically unreadable set are MPH. Looking at the picture of that speedo, it appears they did the same on the Fit. So the bezel would have to be replaced or maybe the entire instrument cluster since these are a one piece assembly. Doesn't look like any easy way to do what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 The only way would be to replace the speedometer to a miles and not kilometers. DOING SO WOULD AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. You would need to order the new speedometer from a USA source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I scanned the owners manual and believe the choice is in firmware as it is listed as "or". No options to select other than what the car came with based on the country it was manufactured for.

ea93105 Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Some car will allow you to change the odometer from kilometers to miles. Mine has that option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firmware will not change the markings on the speedometer. Thus a miles speedometer is needed which will show miles as the large numbers and kilometers as the small numbers. I once legally imported a new TBird from Canada. A certified importer had to order a speedometer from the factory with the odometer pre-set to the same mileage as the one it replaced.

Understood but having a speedometer in kilometers and an odometer in miles would destroy resale value and would make no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it could be easily changed, it could be changed back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
