the short answer is "no". There is no way to electronically change the mileage.

To do it legally, you'll have to declare it TMU (true mileage unknown) and then have someone alter it. Most electronic odometers always retain the true mileage as well as evidence of change, so if you don't declare that and you're found out later, its a big deal.

You're probably better off just putting the new ODO in with the wrong mileage, then being truthful if you ever sell it.

You can find out what signal they take as a speed input. Then run that into it at the highest allowable frequency.

Of course that'll only work to rack up miles, I don't know if digital odometers run around and back to zero.

[curtis73]

They turn back to zero at 1 million miles, but they store the information that its turned over. Early ones just go to 999,999 and stay there I've been told.
