Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this if not I do apologise. I'm fairly new to VCDS and only use it occasionally but I am having trouble finding anywhere in the settings were I can change the autoscan output to display the mileage in miles instead of KM. I've tried to search the forums but can't find a post. Maybe its just the way I am searching I don't know. Any help would be appreciated. I had a print out with some fault codes and the mileage reading is in KM which is not really helpful for us in the UK. Sure I can convert it but I thought VCDS would have the built in option without changing the odometer displays from miles to KM.
Regards
Jav

VCDS displays units in the units that VAG engineers use for the vehicles - being German these are shown in Kilometers. No there is no conversion function within VCDS.

In full Auto scan will show both , Km and Miles.

Like this:
"VIN: WVWXXXXXXXXXXXX Mileage: 219000km-136080miles"

In log files like Bruce said no way to have Miles as Mother of birth is Germany for this cars :D

But it could easily be done! Lots of VAG owners outside Germany use Miles rather than Kilometres, so VCDS could easily convert the kilometres it reads off the ECU into miles when it prints the log.

Just because something CAN be done doesn't mean it SHOULD be done. :p
