Hi Folks,

I find our odometer very hard to read when on outings that rely on mileage to navigate. It's not readily visible to start with and I have to have the lights on to stand any chance of reading it.

Can anyone recommend a suitable one? I'm not interested in an app as I have a low Gb contract because the reception at home is rubbish.

Thanks in anticipation.

Buy an OBDII dongle & the free torque app. It will tell you distance & as it is bluetooth won't affect your contract.

Yes we have also used that with our S! Roadster, the odometer is relly unreadable but I love the instruments & the dash on them.

Seen here on a good day

I use a cheap head up display that sits on top of the dash and projects speed onto the lower drivers corner of the 'screen, marvelous !
