Speedo Display in the MFD - software bug?

Just because I'm so nice to all you guys, I had a mate film this for you all

Right, so, by a process of deduction, to get km/h on the Alternate Speed Display, you need to set your Units to a US setting - either "mpg (US), mi" or "mpg (GB), mi" - and then the primary digital speed will be mph, and the alternate in km/h. Pity that's then tied to mpg for your fuel readout.

I'm happy with my speed display as a separate MFD page, personally.

*cough* other way around....

mph x 1.61 = km/h
(or 1.609344 if you have to be more precise)

Haha, yeah, something like that! To be fair to myself I meant to put (x) mph / 0.6 (rather than multiply, but I just had a brain fade)...

The MFD displays mph even though all settings are set to metric ie litres/100km etc.

Anybody got any ideas of where I can get rid of the MPH setting in the MFD??

I'd start by opening the glove box, pulling out the leather binder and reading the manual!

Exactly what Dermot said. It's called Alt Speed, as in Alternate. Hence mph.

If you switch Alt Speed off in the MFD settings, you then have access to the large digital km/h speed page in the MFD, which is a great feature!

The car I drove in Dec'09 wouldn't worked in km/hr for the main speed display. Even the sales guy had a go and conceded there was a problem with the software. I'd recommend you talk to the dealer to get it fixed. My GTI delivered in Jun'10 didn't not have this problem, so I expect they had a software fault that was later fixed.

There was no general software fault...
Individual cars may have a configuration issue that needs to be adjusted. Most of the time, the sales guy gets a bit flusted when he can't find the option quick enough and so just tells the customer some story
