    Question: why?

    Are you racking up the k's too quickly so your trying to dud the company for a bit of extra warranty period?

    I think we need name, address, cell phone number plus vehicle VIN and registration number for this one.

    Honesty is key, If you want to do something like this, i would suggest taking this question somewhere else. I think yo will find that the majority of people of this forum are honest hard working individuals with a passion for their cars.

    Its clear from your question that this may not be high up on your list.

    As always, good luck with it, but i would be very surprised if the info came from here.

    You will find Commodores have not used a speedo cable for a while.

    You can try and unplug your instrument cluster....
    But you will find that the speedo and odo arent the only things that will stop working if you do this.

    this one can be shelved with the "removal of seat belt warning tone" & "permanent removal of traction control" threads

    I'd recommend you listen to Arthur

    And as said further up in the post as honesty is not your number one priority at least doing as Arthur said should be your second

    WTF guys...

    It was a general question...

    Why do all of you think that i am rorting something or other???

    People have no faith in other people any more...

    Surely i am not the first person to do this nor the last?

    The question was legit as i wanted to try out a few things without the speedo connected.

    Technically, you cant....
    There s no speedo sender cable.
    The speedo signal is be virtually generated by the ABS wheel speed sensors.
    Disabling all these would disable ABS, Traction Control, Stability Management, as well as log many many error codes, and make the car un-drivable....

    Maybe if you explain WHAT it is you are trying to do people may be a little it more sympathetic.
    You should be able to understand, with the limited amount of information you have provided, people are very dubious about the reason why you would want to do this...

    I cannot see a single legitimate reason, so maybe you can enlighten us as to WHY you would want to do this ????

    This would have to be of of the dumbest things I've heard.... no you can't disconnect it, your car car wouldn't go anywhere without a speed signal cos the trans wouldn't know what to do with itself!

    Please explain to us what these very specific, yet unmentionable things you are attempting to do that require you to remove the speedo from your effectively brand new car? I can say I have never thought that any situation required me to drive around in my VT with no functioning instrumentation.

    Please enlighten us.

    And remember, the reason we have no faith in you, is because what you're doing is violating the warranty of your car, the law and putting yourself in danger should you be able to actually start your car after "tinkering".
