i have another odometer that i am selling off its a 98 gtt and was wondering would the new owner have the kms that his car has done on the odometer or would it have the ones that my car did on it? like would it re adjust itself for the new car cause its digital and all or what?

digital information... i thought it would auto adjust it to what is on the orginal car k's not the donor dash

mayb plug it into some one elses loom to see ????

im pretty sure the info is stored on the odometer itself

Yes digital display dash's store the actual distance in the odo itself.

They also cannot be "adjusted" to suit the vehicle it is going into.

You can run them in the bench with a pulse generator and wind Km's on them, but cannot go in reverse.

though, i do remember seeing a documentary on speedo tampering once, as in people winding back the kms of cars before they were imported to NZ. they had a guy who was plugging something into digital BMW instrument clusters and changing the km's at will...

as far as I am aware toyotas are not diagnostic port programmable.
What you could do is to wind it up so it goes full circle.

So if you sat in in the test bench with a pulse generator at 180kmh,

how long would iot take for it to wind around to zero again,
taking into account that it will read to 999,999.9 km???

Too god damn long

somone calculate it out.. DO IT!! (im shit at maths but..)

even if you said 1km per second, thats what.. 900,000 seconds.. So thats what 15000 mins? so.. 250 hours? so 10 days to wind from 100,000 to 999,999 kinda thing?

spose I should have but was too lazy,

at 180kmh, 1 million kms takes approx 231 days.

Hmmm, maybe I wont reset my odo to 0 when the car is done then

why 180 is limitation in first place? does it not respond to say 1800km/h signal? I am sure there is some sort of filter but I would not think it would have cut off so close to physical speed of the vehicle.

Only said that as winding it too far past the end of the range may do some damage to it.

I would assume it is just a normal counter. Like mechanical, digital counter should reset when it gets to max. Unless it is programmed not to do so.
Although some cars actually clock over 1mil, so there should not be any problems.
Someone needs to get a cheap dash (probably the broken one, but with km counter still working) and try it at Mach 5, to see if it will go past 1mil.
