Re: Change speedometer between KM and Miles
That's a B8 (2009+). DrTofu has a 2008 B7. B7 does not have digital speed display on the DIS.
Matt,
You can change from km's to miles using VAG-COM, but it will only make the change on your odometer. It can't "recalibrate" the speedometer to reflect MPH. It's ridiculous that Audi doesn't have miles simply indicated on the speedo.
Your other option would be to measure speed via GPS. You can d/l a couple of apps to your iPhone that will work. If you had NAV I could have shown you how to show GPS speed on the head unit.

I'll test out a couple iPhone apps and see how accurate they are, but I might see if i can just borrow a buddies Garmin GPS, he's got a hand held one I can just put in the cup holder and it's probably a little more accurate then the phone.
Guess that's just one more reason to get a Q5 for the next vehicle

Re: Change speedometer between KM and Miles
If you're talking about pressing the RESET button on the windshield wiper control arm while the car is in park and changing the UNITS, that doesn't work. All that does is change the odometer, tirpmeter and fuel economy units. Speedometer still reports speed accurate to KM/H
