Analogue dials vs digital clusters
On a fully digital cluster (Virtual Cockpit, Active Info Display, BMW Live Cockpit, Mercedes widescreen) the whole display switches to km/h. On an analogue cluster, the printed dial face stays as it is: usually mph with a smaller km/h scale. The digital readout between the dials can switch to km/h, but the needle scale can only change by swapping the cluster.
Brands covered
Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, SEAT, Cupra, Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Send the VIN and I'll tell you exactly what your cluster will show before you book.
Lights and other settings
Daytime running light behaviour and some lighting settings can also be adapted. Right-hand-drive headlights stay right-hand-drive, which is correct for Ireland.

Frequently asked questions
Is the mileage converted?
The odometer keeps its true distance; the display unit changes. Nothing is altered about the recorded distance.
Can it be changed back?
Yes, every coding change can be reverted.
