Title: Hide my milage!
Post by: TomGTI 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:

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:

Cheaper and quicker than coding.
