Canada speedometer km/h to mp/h

Just bought a CPO 2011 328xi executive edition with Navi and comfort access.

Is there a way to switch the km/h to mp/h? I know the US cars got both the km/mph but us Canadian only have the km?

Is there a way for us Canadian to have some kind of mp/h indication without changing the cluster?

Swap the faces. I did it last year - just be careful putting the needles back on, if you don't support it from behind the plastic motor pops apart.

You can change the rest through your radio.

Well you can code to enable the digital speedometer, and switch the unit of distance to miles in idrive to display speed in mph. Just did that for a trip to US.

Get a BMWhat app and OBD connector they sell and you can do it yourself very easily. Lot of other coding options there as well. You'll spend about $100 USD for app and connector, just paying someone will run you the same or more.

I already have a OBD cable that I use with BMWlogger from **************. C O M. Can I somehow use that to code?

This BMWwhat app? How does it work? Looks like it's a IPhone or android app. What is the OBD cable for? I don't supposed you can somehow plug it from the OBD to the phone?

I have no experience with BMWlogger so I do not know whether you can code with it.
BMWhat app can be downloaded for iPhone or Android I believe, and OBD connector is actually little wi-fi transmitter that communicates between the car and the app (there are no cables involved). I personally used it to change several settings in my car, including the digital speedometer. It's very easy to use.

This is their official adapter:

and app itself is $44.99

I could've coded it for you if I was in Brampton (I visit frequently). I'm currently out of town, but if you need this done in April or something, let me know.

Thanks for the offer. If I haven't got it coded by then I'll give you a shout.
