anyone know about the odometer trick. its where you can have a program where you have a on and off switch. on when you want your odometer to be counted for the miles you drove. off when you dont want your odometer to count the miles

 

what are you talking about? someone if you know what he is talking about please explain. but why would you want to do that?

 

people like you piss me off... thats what you call illegal... I hope you get caught and thrown in jail.

 

sumkidwithacl.... relax buddy!!!

first off... o snap its eric... I have had a switch on my OD since 98... but it kills your speedometer also, so you'll have to learn your rpm when driving...

no sumkid... its only illegal if you try selling your vehicxle with a false reading.... my car has been likew this as long as I have had it so it is registered with the mileage stated even though its not actual... if i tried selling y car now, it would be ILLEGAL - FRAUD....

My purposes are strictly to save $$$ on insurance... If you think that keeping your mileage down to save a buck from an insurance co thats overpriced anyway is illegal... then lock my ass up but that insurance co better be in the cell block next to my ass for rippin me off!

 

eh, good point......

I have a question, is it hard to do? Just wondering because my insurance company screws me up the, ehh wait, I am not being literall. Can you help me out?

 

yup yup casper that is what im trying to do! anyways.... yeah i need to save some money! girlfriend and getting my cbr is gonna cost me... by the way im getting my permit this winter break! red and black cbr or a r1

 

hey casper! can you help me with this odometer thing

 

SAME HERE, MY INSURANCE IS 253 a month, and I don't have any tickets on my record.

 

i just got speeding ticket too damn! im planing on switching my insurance anyways.

 

hey kc how much are you paying a year?

 

i know some guys who knows how to do it.... but the catch is that they only know how to do it on digital odometers. sucks for us. but in sure casper can help us out :hint hint: by the way the people who can do digital odometers are in the la area

 

Your a dumbass How old are you 16? Do you have to do illegal stuff to be cool or something? There is a reason why you have an odometer and im not sure about the insurance thing but wouldnt that be insurance fraud and you are never going to sell your car? I find that hard to believe but im sure if you do sell you will tell them the actual mileage and not what the OD says.

Im going to have to agree with sumkid on this, its people like you that piss me off. How much would it suck if you were to buy my car with 211,000 miles on it but i was an ass and shut my OD off so it says i only have 60k? would you be pissed?

 

Cruising doesnt add that many miles.

 

So how do you do it?

 

I hate to tell you but shutting off my odometer 2 qeeks before I sell the car would be stupid. I wouldnever do something like that, espexially because when I bought my car it was/is rumoured to ghave way more miles than suspected. I honestly would never sell a car with more miles than on the odometer. If I did, I would tell them ho muh was really on it.

 

I don't know what insurance some of you guys have, but i've never had mileage affect my rates. I can't even think of any logical reason mileage would be significant to auto insurance, except for blue book value in case of a total - and even that I guarantee is almost negligible when campared to driving record, driver's age/profile, driving location/region, type of vehicle, and AGE (not mileage) of vehicle.

 

hold up! y is everyone jumpin gon my back about this? i started this thread asking a question and maybe just maybe me doing it. but anyways wtf! i have morals! i would tell the person it has more miles than it says. and milage does affect insurance. you can say you are a part time driver and it cost a lot less than saying you are a full time driver. why is everyone jumping on my back shit. you guys act like i did something hella bad

 

besides i am planning to keep this car for a long long time cuz im gonna get a cbr anyways

 

and to answer you question 1stgen gen no im not 16 and no i dont have to do illegal stuff to be cool. lol but hey i know what im doing alrite im just asking around for some knowledge. isnt what a fourm is for?

 

i don't really care what you do with your car. I'm just wondering what mileage has to do with insurance. yeah part time/full time driver makes a difference, but that's just something you tell em' when you buy your insurance. After that they don't hardly keep track of your mileage - at least mine never has. The only time they'll get you mileage is if you file a claim.

 

so is anyone going to say how to do this? just wondering

 

I'm completely lost as to what this thread is about now.

I've also never seen one person have half of the posts on a single thread this long.

 

lol, I know that the logical use for something like this would be to keep miles off of your ar so that it seems like it may only have 20000 miles on it rather than 120000 miles. But if you knew me and knew the kind of dstress that I went through when I thought that my car had more miles on it then it did, then you would know that I would never do something like that.

How cool would it be to flip a switch and have your passenger thinking that you were going 0 mpn.

 

shiaaat i would do it in a heart beat i thought u can only do it to ford vehicles well if we can do it to our cars im down

 

mileage doesnt effect my insurance, some one explain how it does.

 

mileage doesn't affect my insurance either, but it would definitely extend the life of an extended warranty.

 

If i remember correctly several insurance companies asked me for a yearly mileage estimate. If you drive the car to work or school they increase ur insurance due to higher risks. Its a higher risk because ur on the road more and especially if ur on the road during rush hour. I heard its best to say the car is used for leisure activities. And that U use public transprtation or carpool to get to these destinations.

I've tested it on websites and even consulted insurance dealers and I have found it to be true.

 

kool right on i will do that

 

sorry for not responding sooner... been away froom my comp...

anyway... our ODs are not digital (digitals started in '00) so you can t-tap a wire straight into your OD wire and add a switch to it... its that simpole... Mine is hidden up under my dash by steering column... I reach my hand and flip it when I want!

 

so tell us casper! how to do it hahaha. more details. PM me if you can

 

just tell us what we need to buy and maybe post some pics that would definitely rock the casbaugh

 

well I am not taking my dash apart.. but remove your tac cluster... the wire that leads into your OD and Speedometer are one in the same... Buy T-Taps (they clamp onto wires an split out to a 3rd wire)... the 3rd wire lead out wikll be your switch... that then acts as a breaker in the line, cutting off or letting through the feed.. its easy as that!

 

For those of you who still don't understand Casper's instructions, you can go to Radio Shack and buy a SPST switch to do the OD thing. OR, if you're feeling tricky, you can buy a DPDT switch and maintain the tachometer.

I was not aware that you can even do this. Every odometer I have played with uses a line that looks like a bicycle brake cable. Then again, I have never looked at a Honda/Acura odometer cable.

Word to the wise: The computer logs the actual mileage, so don't do this in an attempt to extend your warranty.

 

we do not have a recorded mileage in our car, only the digitals do and thats honda/acura 00' and younger... we are safe to do what we want with no record! easy for me.. I have had it since day one!
