KPH to MPH analog guage change out (HELP) - Camaro Forum - 2011 Camaro 2010 Camaro / Camaro Z28 SS Forums

khislop007 · 06-26-2009, 05:24 PM

Here's the deal!....Because I am here in the Cayman Islands the camaros that we are getting are EXPORT models and come with the analog gauge in KPH so it reads from 0-300 and it is not an option I can change.

Our speed limits are in MPH unlike other Caribbean islands and I just personally prefer it to be in MPH....so my question hopefully one of you guys can answer it for me.

Will I be able to change the overlay or gauge out for it to read in MPH?

I know that the car has a digital read out between the speedometer and the tach that can be changed between metric and imperial, but I want my analog in MPH!

So someone please help me find an answer. THX

hmmmm that's a good question, i do not know the answer though sorry. But from what i have seen here on the forums is that most people use the DIC over the analog. I know u may want it in mph just for looks though so idk.

The analog NEEDLE will also change to MPH when its US. Try it when you go 160kmh and change from metric to US the Speedo (NEEDLE) goes to 100 mph.

Ok you need to read your owners manual. You can change it back and forth anytime you like.

Thats one good way to look at it

khislop007 · 07-04-2009, 01:38 PM

Can someone take pictures of the analog gauge and DIC in both KPH and MPH that way I can see it to believe it?

jayson71 · 07-06-2009, 01:18 AM

Perhaps you could use a gauge pack from a US car? If yes I may have one for you.

Vash · 07-06-2009, 02:39 AM

Just put a sticker on the US MPH and only setup the DIC for metric the inspector won't give a hoot and or you grease them with a free ride offer.

You have a PM from me

Use the digital display in the middle.

The analog speedometer is too hard to read and look at to guage your speed.

It goes from 0-180, so everything is really crammed together.
