Hi,
I'm new to obd11 and still learning it but i'm having no luck trying to change the odo from 35,800 km to the 22,000 miles in the dash display and it doesn't have the alternate Speed Display option, the car is a mk6 2012 golf 1.2, any help or suggestions would be fantastic.

You need to change the region to something like Great Britain or Europe to get those units. The alternate speed display option was an adaptation channel if I recall correctly. I'll have to check it on my car once again to be sure.

I have changed the region to Great Britain but no go, i have toggled the left button on the cluster to bring up a little speed indicator in mph that only appears when the car is moving.

trying to change the odo from 35,800 km to the 22,000 miles in the dash display and it doesn't have the alternate Speed Display option I'm answering your question now. What you are asking for, can't be done in OBDeleven or VCDS unless it has been enabled in the EEPROM to be toggled. The feature for the alternate speed display would require you to enable "Personalization" in the long coding option to be enabled, then you scroll through the MFD/MFA options using the steering wheel (if the option is allowed to be toggled in the EEPROM). As it relates to the odometer reeding units, that would have to adjusted from the EEPROM as the units are made for the specific regions they are assigned. There is a wonderful tool called VDOeditor that can do BOTH options you listed here. The catch is that you have to pay for it. I paid for a copy of the tool. If you can get someone to READ and dump the contents of the EEPROM from your instrument cluster into a *.*BIN file, I could make the adjustments for you and send the file back to you. The tool I use to read instrument clusters (in service mode) is AVDI by Abrites (through the OBD2 port). The cluster has to go in service mode in order to gain access to the EEPROM and read its contents including immobilizer information. It sounds like I'm giving you complicated steps for a hassle, but if you find an easier solution, let me know. It is the same way that all instrument clusters support sweeping/staging, but some clusters don't have that feature editable in OBDeleven/VCDS, and as such, the EEPROM would have to be edited to enable that feature. |

According to the video you have all instructions so where's the problem??
If you're sure that the video works on your car then do it.

Vcds works the same like OBDeleven. If you find instructions for vcds you can use these for OBDeleven aswell. The interface/ui of these two products just look different.

I have the same issue. Was the solution found? Is Matthew's method still correct? We should be able to edit eeprom using OBDeleven now.
Thanks
