Digital Speedo

[Mr Pig]

My daughter has just bought a 2014 Toledo for her first car. It has the monochrome screen between the clocks which can show miles traveled, average speed, seemingly almost everything except speed.

Is there a way to get this screen to show speed? I have an OBD11 dongle if it needs coding.

Thank you.

Yup.

Carista(free download and free trial period)- as long as your OBDII is compatible.

Change dash to Australia and secondary speed display becomes available.

Mid 2015- on cars have the big mph display as OEM, but I used Carista to put it on my 2014 build car, also to change the default central locking settings, amongst other stuff.

Someone has already changed the central locking settings and enabled cornering lights I think.

Australia? Doesn't that much up anything else? I have OBD11 Pro but I don't know anything about Carista. Can you change it with OBD11?

The book says it should have the digital MPH but it gives a reason why it might not work. If the second display is in KPH or something but it isn't and I don't see any way to change it anyway.

Yes when you set Australia you then have to reset some of the metric units for more familiar dash readouts.

On a UK car if you were to enable the secondary display it would be kph. In OZ the primary is kph but the secondary setting shows MPH.

When I change it to Australia nothing changes. The small digital speed reading is in KPH in both UK and Aus mode and I cannot find any way to change it. I can't get it to be in MPH.

My son had a 2015 Ibiza and it wasn't like this. Large digital MPH was an option. I don't know why this is different.

After changing to Australia, there are some new options on the HU, including enable secondary speed display or similar. Bear in mind I last did this in 2014.

2015 saw significant hardware changes to both Toledo and Ibiza. The newer cars have big MPH factory enabled.

Here's a quote from 5 years ago. I know this particular car had a low spec, non Nav HU.

"Regarding the big MPH display, make sure you've done the following:
Change region with Carista to Australia, and save it.
Then, on the MFD settings on the car (not with Carista), disable Alt. Speed Display in the display settings. Make sure everything else is enabled.
Then see if it shows - I've found the MDF can't do two speed displays at once, it needs to be one or the other. If you have the small ALT. KPH display enabled, it will disable the large MPH display."

Thanks. I'll go out and have another play.

 

[Mr Pig]

Worked! Excellent. Thank you. My daughter will be delighted.

Glad to help. Sorry the replies were so slow, but I'm up to my neck in Spanish bureaucracy and don't have much time for forum surfing.

 

[Mr Pig]

Not at all. I really appreciate the help. Got the job done. Thank you :0)
