First of all, I have to clearly confirm that I do this for automotive use not for sale purpose. Because I am aware of odometer correction for commercial interests is illegal in my country. I will explain the reason why get the mileage changed and how I change it.
Reason: I own a second-hand 2003 BMW E90 from a used-car lot. It picked up 95,000 km. After run two months, I was facing $2000 charge because the number on the dashboard was wrong. I took it to the local mechanic and was told the actually km was at least 99,000km. Thus, I have to get the dashboard odometer changed.
Equipment: I got myself Digiprog 3 latest version 4.88 and a piece of OBD2 cable.
Operation:
Step 1: Plug the Digiprog 3 programmer into the vehicle’s OBD2 diagnostic socket.
Step 2
Turn on the ignition switch and come to the main interface. Select “AUTODETECT CAN” button after input password, set language, check software information.
Step 3 Simply enter the current odometer on “Alter Wert” item.
Step 4 The odometer km has changed from 50,000KM to 99857 KM.
The whole process took me approximately 50 seconds with the help of the device. Compare with that much charge, $175 for the Digiprog 3 odometer correction tool worth every penny.
