kmh Reading

Is it possible to get the display to show kmh in larger text?

Going abroad in June and just think the existing display is a bit small

I think it is possible but only via VCDS, not worth the hassle IMHO.

Not tried this - but if you keep the 'digital speed' item (ie the big display) ticked in 'MFD data' but change the units back to kph - does this change to kph also?

Could be hardcoded to read mph. I changed units and looked up the speedo and it still had a little mph next to it. I can try again and see if the speed reading is actually mph or kph. It makes sense though, since there is already a tiny kph reading that never changes even if you change units on system
