V50 Electrics : - On board computer

festa316 · Feb 26th, 2021, 19:46

Just got my v50 however I'm not sure whst units things are in !
For instance my odometer I believe is measuring miles but the drivers computer seems to only have liters and Km on it which when I'm driving is a pain in the sconcles as my maths when sat at home maybe fine but buzzing around in traffic try to drive not only a strange car but calculator to is just more than I'm happy doing especially as my calculator is on my phone and jonny law aint happy about these things
Anyway I guess my question is!
Can I change the units on the computer from l/100km to mpg and make my life complete
Thank you all in advance as this has probably been covered before but I'm new and struggling to find stuff out Cheers guys n gwls

Volvo's diagnostic software that dealers have, some Volvo specialists or you can find clone VIDA/DICE setups available from a guy on here or eBay.
