Wondering is it possible to easily change the car from km to miles? Moving abroad and don’t want to pump tons of money into my car as it’s costly enough shipping it but need to change it into miles.

Hello, I'm Danny.

It should be a fairly easy swap with the instrument cluster, but I will have to find out if anything else will need to be changed as well. Is this a car from Europe in km's that your shipping to the U.S. That needs to be converted to miles per hour? Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Would it be expensive to do? And yes the car is European and currently in km so needs to be swapped to miles per hour.

Hello again.

It should be fairly easy to change the cluster. But first your cluster must be converted or a replacement mph cluster will need to be updated with your vehicle information. I will find out tomorrow when places are open I can give you a better idea on price and I'll get back to you then. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Hello again.

After some research I find that the instrument cluster itself is all that will need to be changed. After switching to a U.S. Or miles per hour cluster it will just have to have your vehicle options and mileage programmed. Should be around $700.00 US dollar range for the conversion with parts and labor. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions about this. Thanks again for using 2CarPros.
