Default Euro Instrument Cluster

Hey all i just bought my first 1997 audi A4 and was wondering if it were possible to convert my stock instrument cluster to a Euro cluster with kilometers instead of miles an hour?

You can use a VAGCOM to switch the displayed units on the screen from english to metric units. You could also buy a euro cluster that shows kph only and not mph and kph..

Wait... Why? Do you live in Canada?

Have fun with your new car.

I've wanted to do this swap also. not sure if a km/h cluster would be a direct swap with the connectors but the easiest/cheapest way to get one would probably be from someone in canada. I've seen some non oem km/h gauges on ebay too. if you do this, post a thread about it!

I must be getting old. I'm all for euro-ness, but I don't see the point in going to kph when you are driving in a country where the standard for measuring speed is in mph. Can't you just pay attention to the little red kph #'s on the speedo and invest the money you save into an IRA? jk.

I'm pretty sure it's just a paper inlay... You could make one and have it say whatever you want as long as you scale it correctly
