This product fixes a common issue that occurs when you replace your car's instrument cluster. If your new cluster shows dashes instead of mileage, this solution resets the mileage to 0, allowing you to set the correct mileage from your car.
The procedure takes 5 minutes.
Considerations
We do not actively support mileage manipulation. If you want to achieve mileage other than original, a CAN filter is required separately, which we do not sell, or offer support for.
Description
This activation comes free of charge, and gives you the ability to disable the annoying seat belt warning sound.
