    Question Switching the odometer to kilometers instead of miles?

    I haven't really found a good solution to this one yet, if it exists normally.
    I know you can change the average consumption from MPG to km/L, but that's not what I'm after. I'm after switching the odometer itself to display kilometers instead of miles. For no good reason besides I think it'd be cool.

    Mirage in question is a 2018 G4 ES. Is it something I can change? The manual doesn't really give me a hand there besides with the consumption. Please and thank you.

    I can't answer your main question, but the clip below sort of shows the variety of items found in ETACS. It was shared by someone adding cruise to their Mirage.

    That'd be a great way to rollback your odometer........

    This is also true! But that's not my goal!! The car only has ~5,030 miles on it! (And admittedly that's probably why it's not available for someone to change easily lmao)

    It would make it look worst, not better. 5030 mi = 8095 km

    My guess is that it can't be changed. Speedometers are set up for mi/h or km/h, & the odometers are probably designed to do one or the other, too. I realize the opposite rating is usually shown on the speedometer, which helps traveling across borders.

    The option to change it may be available, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.
