How to show mph on digital display

[Niall16]

Just got my new seat ibiza MK5 and it only displays my speed digitally as km/h on my trip computer screen.. Can i change this to mph??

 

[nightflight]

No.

Digital Kph display.

Nope sorry, your stuck with it. By law all cars sold within the EU must have a speedo that reads in Mph and Kph. I suppose SEAT thought rather than block the speedo face up with an extra set of numbers they would do it that way instead. Quite a neat idea though!

would it have been so hard to have a button to change it from kph to mph tho?

 

[Fl@pper]

to be honest it will probably get dropped and replaced with cheaper numbers on dials later but then maybe they know something we don't ?

probably, must be a way to do it.
i bet its in MPH on the continent just swap em for UK use

my mrs had a 2007 yaris with a full digital dash, that didnt show KPH just MPH
but it did have a button to change from one to the other

Citroen's with digital dash (C2's) can be changed in the display menu's.
Scares peeps shitless if you drive around in Kph............

i cant really understand the need to change it into mph?

You already have a dial that looks nice you dont need a digital one too surely

I had a test drive in an Ibiza earlier today and I have to say this feature really put me off. What on earth is the point of a constantly changing digital display in the middle of the dashboard conveying information that is of no use to me whatsoever and will just serve to distract me?

Surely having km/h shown as subsidiary units on the speedo would be preferable (and probably cheaper too).

If I had to drive one I'd probably end up putting gaffer tape over it.

At least in my 207 all the units on the trip computer can be changed from metric to Imperial.

Do u not look at the road?

Its never anoyed me its to small to see when looking ahead

Guess diffrent ppl noties diffrent things

I have done a search before and there are companies that can change it for you if say for example you are relocating to europe and they can also change the dials to km/h so you could do what you wanted I guess.

The EU ibizas have the option of showing both MPH or KMH on the screen.....

It's never botherd me - if anything I'd find the gear change indicator more distracting, and equally as useless.

I do actually rely on the Km/h readout quite a lot as I work in Dublin and speed limits are in Km/h in the Republic of Ireland, and I also like how the main speedo is less cluttered looking having just mph on it.

OK, might have been a bit of an overreaction there

Still seems a bit silly when you could have subsidiary units on the speedo, but in practice not remotely a show-stopper.
