SNC Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I saw that you can get a digital speedomoter to show on the trip computer. My understanding was you hold the black trip reset button on the speed panel, then turn your key till the electris come on and it said keep holding it till it says GAGE, hoever mine said TEST and then start the engine up. You should then be able to using the black trip reset button go through the trip options till the digital speedometer shows. It never came up on mine and I couldn't see anything different. How do you get this working? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I've seen it on mine, going though the different test options until I found the speed. What I'd like to know is, does anyone know of a way to set this as an available option when flicking through the standard tip computer options like MPG and average speed? I guess this would need some fiddling with some settings that aren't meant to be changed, but it would be a great thing to be able to see. I think Ford have missed a trick there.

roocat Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 i just tried accessing the digital speedo from the test menu and then drove up my drive to see a) if i could use the car ok and b) how accurate it was. It seems my digital readout is doing strange things and was reading over 30mph when i was barely moving!. So i think i'll leave it alone. You could always use GPS on a phone for a digital speed reading - not ideal i know. Search GPS speedometer in an app store and there's a few to choose from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNC Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Yeah i use my satnav but the digital speedometer should be an easier alternative already in the car. Maybe it was displaying kph? 30mph is 18kph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was displaying kph? 30mph is 18kph. no was def mph, the next option is kmh and that was doing something similar. did you get yours working?, i held the button and started the car then released when test appeared, then toggled through. To leave the test menu i just turned the car off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNC Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 I haven't tried since as it's currently in with some lying muppets but I'll try again at some point if I haven't sent the car back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L22EEW Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 hold the black button and start the car as normal Thought so :) Wasn't sure, as some people have the turn key to turn ignition on... not start the car - to enable to test menu. Diolch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roocat Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Off the back of this discussion I looked on the App Store yesterday for alternatives and found cyclops, which is primarily a speed camera notifier but also shows a nice clear gps speedo. Pretty good so far and from what the reviews say is very accurate at reporting speed cameras. Community driven too so mobile camera units can be reported.

SNC Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 I wonder if there's meant to be a decimal point in there somewhere lol. I think you might be right, maybe that should have been 52.5kph which would actually make sense for the speed your doing in mph, do remember it should be slightly different to your needled speedo as it should be slightly different and more acurate.

L22EEW Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Yes I tried MPH and KPH. They were both way off. The digital MPH matched the digital KPH. But didn't match the needle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L22EEW Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I wonder if there's meant to be a decimal point in there somewhere lol. Maybe true. As I tried MPH first, pulled out of a parking bay, Needle showed 1-2mph... Digital showed 10mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 It could be just a number representing the speed before it's converted to mph / kph i.e. the raw number that the ECU reads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital showed 10mph. I have confirmed there is supposed to be a decimal place so it 1mph would display as 10mph and is meant as 1.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
