How to switch odometer from miles to km?

in the display at left, scroll the menus, you may have an option for the display to show the speed in km/h

While you can change the "trip computer" from miles to km with VIDA, (see this document for a list of all the customer-programmable items - http://www.volvoxc.com/resources/how-to ... meters.pdf ) the odometer itself is baked into the car, and is either a dealer programming issue or a "find a Canadian instrument cluster" at a scrapyard, and pay a dealer to make it happy with your car and visa-versa.

You could also ask doodlebug... my impression is that he has many tricks in his library of software, could be messing with the odometer might be one of them.

But the implications for titles, odometer statements, and other legalities raise hairs on the back of my neck. I had enough problems trying to get a 1952 MG-TD from NH (where any car older than 1999 has no title at all by NH law) to VA, where the VA DMV simply could not believe that the state of NH was not going to give me a title document to fit their requirements. There is no greater entertainment than watching two giant state bureaucracies slowly grind through a fight. It was like "Godzilla vs Mothra" or perhaps some sort of steampunk version of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.
