VY S1 digiatl speed read out

[curry]

does any one no how to get the digital speed read out on a vy s1 exc
cheers

Don't think you can. That along with instantaneous fuel (and a few others) is only available in cars with the 3 digital displays.

you can get the computer upgrade had it done on my vy when i had it

Holden have to activate "police mode" with tech 2.

Dont worry, all police mode is is the digital readout, it doesnt give the car another 100 kw or anything like that.

For some reason Holden thought it'd be a grand idea to make it a "police only" option, but they learnt to just keep it on from factory for the VZ which is a feature I love in the VZ

Isnt there something you can do with the trip meter by holding down buttons or something ?

Just upgraded to a VY Acclaim 2 days ago and had the digital speedo turned on today at a dealer , cost me $50.

[kolonel]

Can someone post a pic of what this would look like ? I keep thinking of the trip meter.

Here's a picture of the digital speedo.

Can this be turned on using Tech2 on a 3 window dash? I have a VY Berlina.

I've just bought a Series 2 Police Pack [ex Queensland Police Service] and it isn't on my car, but I'm seriously thinking about paying to have it activated. It's a cool idea...

if you hold the mode + set buttons whilst starting the car a serial number comes up. Hit mode and it'll have instantaneous fuel, digital speed, fuel pump resistance, and a few voltages plus a test screen for your cluster.

i just tryed this in my car it works in my car i have an 02 model why doesnt it do it in everyone elses

[peterj]

Yep that works in mine too , but the speedo is only a small one and you have to do that everytime you start the car.

doesn't activating the digital speedo override one of the other screens? So i heard anyway.

Bout to get a 3 lcd hsv cluster installed soon. got it. just sitting on it for some money to get it installed.

Thanks for that, didn't realise you could do it. Just one question though, with the instantaneous fuel, it displays it in L/h. I know the 3 display clusters display instantaneous fuel in L/h only when your stationary... when you start moving, it changes to L/100km. So when i'm moving, is it actually L/100km or is it still L/h?

It'd be giving you your instantaneous L/100km while you drive. Try driving at 3000rpm in 2nd, then try the same in 4th - It should give you a different reading. Haven't bothered myself, i just found the menu whilst trying to turn off that annoying rest reminder - if i was worried about fuel i'd have a yaris or a colt..
My friend showed me in his VU ute that if he went down a hill in gear it seems the injectors stop pumping as a reading of 0L/Min comes up - explains why the ute seems so hesitant to speed up rolling down hills.

I have a VY SS series II , is it possible to get the speedo read out i can get the small one but would like the normal one...lol

Try reading through the thread...

OKAY i checked and it does NOT give the correct reading. It actually gives it in litres/hour not litres/100km.

Basically, in the WL Caprice (which has the 3 digital displays) when you are stationary the instantaneous fuel displayed on the additional display is in litres/hour. When you start moving it changes to litres/100km. On the contrary, the instantaneous fuel on the main display (though mode+set) always stays in litres/hour... because it is in litres/hour!

Now to explain... i held down mode+set when i started the car to get instantaneous fuel reading on the main display, and as expected, it was the same as the additional displays instantaneous fuel (as they were both Litres/hour and i was stationary). However when i started moving, i noticed the additional displays instantaneous fuel was higher than the instantaneous fuel on the main display.

So for example, if i were doing 50km/hour, the instant fuel on the main display is half that of the additional display. Because in 1 hour (litres/hour) i travel only 50kms... hence using half the fuel it says on the additional display which is in litres/100km.

Basically, the instant fuel displayed through mode+set is only true for cruising at 100km/h... otherwise it is necessary to do the calculation in your head.

So if you cruise at 25k/h, and it says your using 3 L/hour... you are actually using an instant fuel of 100/25 * 3 = 12 L/100km.
