VY digital speedo

[1_johnboy]

Is it possible to get the vz style digital speedo on the lcd screen?

[D3CID3R]

yes.. need a yech 2 programmer to do it.. and you need to enable police mode on the tech 2

ASR (forum sponsor) provides this service

Android phone (iphone also?) with free speedo ap - you can do heads up display mode also (works best at night)
Not what the OP asked, just saying

hold down "mode" and "set" put key in ignition and start car. you will gain a heap more menus in the computer display and one of them is a digital speedo. (note you will have to do this each time you start the car, will reset to default once car is turned off) you can make it a permanent read out on your display by seeing a holden dealer though.

The one your talking about is super small and you'd definitely struggle to read it whilst driving...

It also has instantaneous fuel consumption in that menu as well which is pretty cool

[MEESEN]

can you get the instantaneous fuel consumption programmed to stay on with the tech 2 programmer?

I don't think so. Upgrade to a 3 window cluster (Berlina/Calais) and it's a standard feature.

correct only the 3 window cluster.. like mine :P

[MEESEN]

haha is it possible to get a berlina cluster and use it on a exec?

[D3CID3R]

Yes it is.. just needs tech 2 programming

[TMM]

Yeah just make sure you get one from a VY (not VZ), and the same series as your car. They changed the fuel sender between series 1 and 2 so if you get the wrong series cluster the fuel gauge goes backwards lol.

can you shed some more light on this?

[MEESEN]

can you shed some more light on this?

Please do

[D3CID3R]

series 2 onwards have a reverse signal fuel sender.. so if you have a vy series 1 with a vz cluster for instance you just need a vz fuel sender

[D3CID3R]

lol either that or just read it backwards LOL

I took me ages to find a dealer here in NZ that would believe me this could be done. I eventual found one that did it for me (Charged me $40). Went into a menu, turned Police mode On, and that's it. One dealer tried to tell me it disabled alot of things like seat belt warnings etc. and that I wasn't a police office and they wouldn't do it for me. Another told me $130 with anything involving a Tech2. I got lucky on the third time, just had to wait 45min for a tech to be free.(I'm not sure if my seat-belt warning worked when I got car or not. It is a ex cop car after all)

Works like a charm, I love knowing exactly what speed I'm doing.

Yeah same, and my seat belt and shit work too. Only thing that it deletes is the average speed or something.. Can't remember exactly.

[D3CID3R]

Deletes the overspeed menu

[Blazed1101]

what does the over speed menu do?? stupid question prob but never looked into it

[D3CID3R]

Its the feature where you dial in a speed and the dash beeps when you reach it

[Muzzytt]

i have a vy series 2 ss and it allready has a big speed reading in the LCD panel .. is this a normal feature of the series 2 ? or has mine been modified ?

[D3CID3R]

Series 2 VY onwards had digital speedometers as standard
