The 1986 Astra GTE I had it was a twist of the trip counter reset to change from MPH to KPH, it must be the super advances in technology that changed a simple job to a workshop session.
How do you change the digital speedo from MPH to KMH with the Pro onboard computer?

Good point except the latest screen on these bikes can be easily changed by the user.

Of course, I understand and appreciate your comments. I asked the question and you answered it - thank you
. Just ignore my (pretend) rant against BMW. I love them really

As mentioned on the previous page, if you have a bike ipwith integrated sat nav ie Nav V or VI.
It’s in line of sight and have it showing Km, same for psi if you don’t get on with Bar

Is this regulation no longer valid?

The analogue speedo dial on the GS does comply with this, as it has scales for both mph and km/h, albeit the km/h inner scale is almost illegible. The ability to select a speed display on the digital display is in addition to the main speedo so I guess as it is not the only speedo, does not need to comply. In the case of the TFT it is the only speedo, so does have the ability to be switched.
Also, please don't feel the need to tell me that a (£600 BMW) sat nav can use both types of unit, as I know that already. For times when I'm heading to familiar destinations abroad, I'd be happy not to take the sat nav.
If you can get over your issue above, the Nav does do it automatically for you and is, like it or not, the easy answer to your problem. I never ride without my Nav V even if I don't need it for navigation as it provides so much more than just mapping. My default screen is the map dashboard option with the larger of the digital speedos, which is a huge improvement over the analogue speedo whether in mph or kph.
