Can digital odometers be tampered?
Digital odometers that have been tampered with are even harder to detect than traditional mechanical odometers (since they have no visible moving parts). A vehicle’s condition and a detailed history report are the best clues a buyer has for determining whether fraud has occurred.
What to do when your odometer has zero miles on it?
When a shop/garage has to replace a digital odometer, the replacement odometer sent from the factory has zero mileage on it, so the odometer needs to be sent out to a professional speedometer facility to have the mileage from the old odometer transferred onto the new odometer. The process is not complex, but it is time consuming.
Can you tell if your odometer has been tampered with?
If a vehicle has a good documented service history, you can be confident that the odometer mileage has not been tampered with. Sometime a digital odometer will fail; as a result, it will have to be replaced.
Which is the last type of odometer on a car?
The last type of odometer is the new digital type. Most if not all have the 7th digit but few car owners ever get to see the all seven digits displayed as most modern cars are scrapped well before the million mile mark. The last possibility for answering this question is what physically happens to a car when it has done 999999 miles.
Why do I have to send my odometer to the metering shop?
The reason for sending both new and old odometers to the metering shop is because the mileage of the vehicle cannot change while the new odometer is being synced. If the instrument cluster is removed from the vehicle, it’s to be expected that the vehicle will not be driven.
