Besides it is illegel to do that I dont think you can. I know on other makes of vehicles the miliage is stored in 2 different places and have to match unless documented there was a change such as computer or guage cluster. Since it was new I would opt for more miles, or not to sound like a smart *** dont drive it. I had a Grand-am that was leased and the speed sensor went out, car drove fine but didnt have speedometer and I noticed the miliage wasnt moving either. The deaer fixed it but had to add something to the car saying the computer had x amount of miles and the cluster had a few hundred less so I didnt get accused of tampering with it. I suggest you leave it alone.

what we use to do with are rentals was put vechicle on jackstands and run car/truck in reverse. put a bungy cord to the coil wire that way if vechicle fell off jack stands and moved. bungy would pull coil wire and kill motor.. no damage and fewer miles to pay for.

The computer will record the real miles and will give a report of when your fuse was pulled/stopped working one of the many reasons a lease sucks

Thats kinda what I was thinking,your gauge cluster is nothing more than a read out for the vehicle's computer,I don't think you can turn off anything without the comp getting real upset about it.

I am just assuming most all cars are alike, well in BMW the ckuster hols the miliage as well. I had an 95 M3 years ago and the cluster went out and had to be re programmed for correct miliage.

what we use to do with are rentals was put vechicle on jackstands and run car/truck in reverse. put a bungy cord to the coil wire that way if vechicle fell off jack stands and moved. bungy would pull coil wire and kill motor.. no damage and fewer miles to pay for.
i used to do this all the time myself. never could get it to work right though. milage always went up still.

Wont work even on 60's era cars. The speedo/odo works the same direction no matter which way the wheels are spinning.
