I'm driving from the US into Canada for a vacation and am wondering if there is a way to increase the brightness of the inner ring for kilometers per hour inner on the speedo? I have the dash brightness all the way up, but the inner ring is still very dark, no where near as bright as the outer miles per hour ring.

2006 TL auto with Nav if that makes a difference.

Thanks.

 

No don;t think so....

But the speed limits are usually like 50-60km/hr in the city which is about 35 mph and on the highway its usually 100km/hr which is about 60mph.

Im sure you will be ok using the mph.

 

It seems the engineers failed in that department as I was trying to read the mph on my speedo the other day. It's almost impossible to make out the speed. I sometimes wonder why they even bothered putting them on as it serves absolutely no purpose. 60 mph is about 100 km per hour. school zones are the worse areas to get nabbed by money hungry minuicipalities so 25 mph in a 40 will get you by. lol.

 

Funny I thought the same thing when I was down in the states the other day. I need a magnifying glass to see the MPH numbering.

 

Excatly my point last summer when I was in NW. TL is ass to drive in US for me.

If there is no glare, I can see "lines", not the numbers. I can do easy ones like 60MPH or 30MPH but when 45 or 65 shows up I was going too fast or too slow.

 

Unfortunately, you are stuck. Honda in general does a lousy job with the metric portion of the speedometer, including using 20-km/h gradations instead of 10-km/h. The TL's is quite tough to read. If you don't already know the equivalents, use 100, 80, and 40 as your baselines; 100 km/h is the equivalent of 62.5 mph, 80 km/h is the equivalent of 50 mph, and 40 km/h is the equivalent of 25 mph. If you can remember these, you'll do fine even if you can't read the metric portion. One kilometre is about 0.625 miles....or, put differently, every 10 kilometres is roughly 6.25 miles.

 

Just after I got my TL I went to the US and thats the first thing I noticed was you can't read the MPH.

Quick +/- conversion multiply the KMH x .6 to = MPH.

 

That is so true, when over in Canada, I have a hard time reading the KMH. Called Acura, there is no fix, bummer....

 

can't believe this luxury car suffers from such glitch. My old mustang had simple green on black instrument.
