Hide my milage!
« on: November 29, 2014, 09:20:49 am »
Morning

Is there any way to code out the milage on my highline display so it can temporary hide my milage so I cant see it? :happy2:

Dont think so mate.  Why did you want to do that anyway?

Some newer cars you can scroll though the trip meter and milage so it can't be seen. Just don't like to see the millage rise! Perfectly legit honest lol

I feel your pain.

I'm sure I physically felt the car de-value as I went from 99,999 to 100,000 miles! Now at 101,500 but still so much fun.  :driver:

My wife has a Mazda 2 - On that you choose Trip or Total. Needless to say, she doesn't know her total mileage.

The more it rises the more you are getting the money's worth out of it - and the more fun you are having.

Cars are meant to be driven so think of it as a good thing  :happy2:

I've found on the MK6 if you leave cruise control switched on (but not active) it hides the mileage whilst moving  :smiley:

Use a thin bit of black tape along the whole bottom, preferably electrical tape with sharp scissors to cut the ends for a neat finish. Make a little "blanking" plate so to speak.

Cheaper and quicker than coding.
