Perhaps I should explain why....... My original odometer failed and I have
a replacement unit with more milage on it than my failed unit.... therfore I wish to reprogram the odometer to match my original milage Cheers "Gary Tait" wrote in message ...

I have dismantled the speedo cluster and have noticed 4 IC's in total. The smallest one has 8 pins and has the following numbers on it 945B 924, would this be the eeprom which stores the milage? Please... any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Doing that would be illegal in many places. |

Hi!
I'm sure it is perfectly possible, but I don't know if any "difficult to tamper with odometer ICs" (do you like my description? ;-) ) exist or not. My guess is that if you can find out what it is and somehow read its contents...then you can change it. As least as far as the US is concerned (as per what's found in many automobile manuals) you CAN legally reprogram a replacement odometer to the mileage of the old one if it's known. If not, then the new odometer is set at zeroes and a note is placed on the door stating the last known original mileage or that the odometer was replaced and does not represent actual mileage. Beyond a point I don't even think it really matters...most of my vehicles that have been 100K miles or have odometers that are reading accurately but in excess of their mechanical limits. I only know the actual mileage of one of them because I have owned that vehicle since it was new... I have one that tried rolling over all of its digits to reflect another 100K miles and it has been stuck with the numbers visibly "popping" and clicking ever since....I guess something inside broke...

Sounds like a VDO odometer from an early 70s VW. If so, I can fix these. Actually I can fix this common fault on any early 70s VW, but I most commonly work on VWs. - ----------------------------------------------- Jim Adney Madison, WI 53711 USA ----------------------------------------------- |

Same reply.
But call and ask first. Kinda screws with the idea of junkyard parts replacement on some items nowadays? Jeff "turtle" wrote in message u... Perhaps I should explain why.......

I guess you could chance swapping the memory IC.

put finger to keyboard and composed: Perhaps I should explain why....... My original odometer failed and I have a replacement unit with more milage on it than my failed unit.... therfore I wish to reprogram the odometer to match my original milage Swap the EEPROMs. The 8-pin IC sounds like the most likely candidate. Can you determine its pinouts, ie which pins connect to Vcc, Ground, Clock, Data, etc? Cheers "Gary Tait" wrote in message .. .
