Yep, a useful post from Count. He no longer posts on here though, just lurks in the background. I think someone upset him.

Who upset Count? Was it an 1100 owner

No idea, but he stopped posting on here. I sent him a couple of PM's but he didn't reply to them. I thought he seemed like he had a good sense of humour, but maybe not.

Not a right lot of good on the Continent if it cannot be changed to KPH!

I've not looked into it - but if it cant be done, I agree its cr@p.

In fact I have to wonder about BMW thinking with the dash...you have all this over the top info like 4 trips and a voltage meter

Yet the owner can't change to KPH or PSI or the date to UK format on the fly....seems you have to go to the dealer to do this....although my dealer doesn't know how to change these things yet

Regarding mph/kph could uk/eu type approval rules be getting involved here

Sorry to drag this up from the past but has anyone had or know somewhere that can redo the speedo just in mph so it's as clear as the just in kph one?

 

[Fanum]

I think Nutty was right.

The whole fekking lot of you should be put down.

Don't thinks so. My car has an LCD sped display in MPH and you just go into user setup and change the dial to KPH and hey presto you have a new set of KPH numbers round the dial and the MPH has gone.

Sorry, I didn't mean the digital readout, I meant the analogue dial, the european kph dials are so much easier to read, I'd like the same simple single set of numbers but in mph.
I may give Lockwood a call to see if it is possible.

If you cant read the UK speedo are you sure you are legal to ride?

I struggle to see the issue here as have no problem at all reading the analogue speedo. Cant be bothered with digital speedo.

Agreed. Though some of the LC owners are really really old, and get their reading glasses and driving glasses mixed up sometimes!

Thank you Georgeeboi und wunderbar! I did try some months ago to bring up Digital MPH but failed. I also didn't know what Computer Pro was. It took questions to two dealers to learn that it is standard on TE models. Now I have the only thing I missed from my Explorer. Thanks again.

I think those that are struggling to read the clocks should consider an eye test, (this isn't a dig at them,) but it is seriously easy to read the digits. you should also be getting used to the layout of it by now surely?
The clocks really arent as difficult as is being made out.

Not struggling to read them, they're just too 'busy'.
I like to be able to scan the dials and have the important stuff jump out at me, not have to go searching for it.
I'm the same with watches, don't like ones where there's loads of dials within dials and where you have to tilt it so the light hits the hands just right so you can read them.

Takes a few seconds to work out where the bloody hands are.
