Digital speed display

[andy15star]

You can change the language settings and display mph in the electronic dash setup.

I got fed up wondering how fast 180 kph was on the Autobahn

How can u change the language settings ?

On the continent, Mk5 Ibiza drivers obviously have km/h on their main speedometer, but they do have the option to display either km/h or mph in their digital dash display.

The process to switch this over is simple, using the two buttons on the dash below the screen. FYI - this is on p53 of the owner's manual.

However, as per the discussion here, in the UK it is a legal requirement to have both mph and km/h visible at the same time. This means on any right-hand-drive UK-spec car you'll find this option isn't available. Playing with the two dash buttons will just change the time on your clock...

Yep that's right, i'd already tried that but it didn't work !

be nice to see the soft coding/instrument numbers for the euro ones then if the display both

as flapper mentioned, on the continent they display only km/h and sooner or later the UK will change (although recently confirmed that metric system would stay)

maybe a VAG-Com option will see that the digital display can be changed

Not sure if I've lost the plot here. Are we saying that the RHD Mk5 Ibiza has both mph and kph marked on the analogue dial with no option to view speed on the central digital display?

Nope

The mk5 Ibiza's only show mph on the analogue speedo, and therefore show kph on the digital display as they have to show it somewhere by law.

However most people would like to have the digital display in mph and thats what this thread is about.

i know its changeing the subject slightly but i cant get my digital speedo to work at all it just constantly shows --, always has done since i bought it, anyone know if there is a quick fix for this?

 

[markmeus]

-- that sounds more like the speed warning setting.

The digital speedo will appear automatically where the miles is as soon as you start to drive

or maybe you reset the clock
