Ok guys I got the speed meter . The install was easy it was 2 plugs but I went back to my original because it only shows in km but it did look nice.
There is no option to change it to Miles? that is weird that in the USA you are able to switch from Kilometers to Miles but not with those outside the USA.

Were there any issues installing them, did everything work as it should ?

Did the new one convert the miles into KM correctly (So if you old speedometer display 500 miles , did the new old show 800 kilometers or 500 kilometers) ?


If you were able to change the option to miles would you have kept it?

Did you take any pictures ?

Any issues with the installation due to size or differences from the old one?


Thanks for letting us know.

Did it show the correct mileage? (converted from kilometers)
 
Yes ,it's wierd only km , and on the milage it was posting 63000 km and my car has 17500 miles but I read but not sure that the dealer can put the right milage. If you guys want photo of the back plugs I can post them

wow, so it doesn't read it from the internal computer of the car. The display should show 28175 KM. Because these part came from European version of the car the dealer is not going to want to install it and make the changes. In some states if you change the speedometer you have to file paperwork with teh DMV and they put a sticker or make a marking by the door sticker that will let anyone else buying the car that the speedometer was replaced.

But did everything else work as it should? were there any issues beside the conversion from miles to km?
 
If would seem if the manufactures can check to see if ECU's have been flashed they should be able to keep the mileage in a registry.
 
There are some third party chineses speedometers on ali express
