Just been reminded of something I was going to ask by the other 993 dials posting - Don't want to go to the hassle of changing the whole unit (as I don't mind Kms having had LHD now for 4 years) but does anyone know if there is a quick way of changing the computer to read in miles not kms?

On my boxster there was a way to do this by turning the ignition on and instead of pressing the odometer reset button in you turned it to the left for 5 seconds!?!?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 3Original post

Sorry, haven't a clue. Never bothered me. Try the below suggestion, if not pull the main dial out, and there are a load of switches at the back - perhaps one of them changes it....

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just been reminded of something I was going to ask by the other 993 dials posting - Don't want to go to the hassle of changing the whole unit (as I don't mind Kms having had LHD now for 4 years) but does anyone know if there is a quick way of changing the computer to read in miles not kms? Manufacturers had a habit of producing one unit (obviously to save cost) that could easily be switched by them but not everyone, ie: they certainly don't tell you in the handbook. (I know the BMW M5s have a silly turn ignition to position one, pull stork towards you for three seconds etc way of doing the same thing - the Porsche one may be similar or have a switch on the back?). Any thoughts?
