I know a guy who is trying to rollback his miles in his 2001 suburban. Its leased and he is way over.......Anyway to do this with a laptop and cable???

 

With newer cars (especially suby's with digital mileage), i believe it will be near impossible to rollback the odometer (but who knows it might be able to be done). Car manufactures do this is to prevent lemons from entering the car market. Good luck

 

Thats what I figured......but for I thought I saw a plug and play adaptor with software to hack this......not sure though.

 

I hope he doesn't succeed!

 

Just technically I think it would be hard to make it spin backwards, It might be easier to get it to roll over up top.

Subaru's odometers are digital and i think will stop at the highest number, and not roll through like older analog odometers did.

 

I don't think it's possible. And we are talking about a Chevy suburban not a subaru.

 

Hey your right, i didn't read the first post correctly But i believe that even 01 Suburbans have digital odometers too, pretty much making the rollback trick unless.

 

Oh well.....hell have to pay the $.40 a mile he is over......I think he is WAY over....ouch!!!

 

lake time....

I agree. He was stupid for taking a lease on that gas-guzzling land barge, and deserves to suffer the punishment for it. Leasing a vehicle is like dropping the soap in the prison shower. It's time to pay the piper.

 

Yeah im not a big fan of SUV's, but it sucks to pay $0.40 per mile for every mile your over on the lease. Oh well, its not my money

 

I never plan to lease a vechile, but generally what kind of miles are you alotted to put on the car? 10k, 20k? $.40 a mile is really going to add up quick, leasing sucks.

 

even if he rolls back the odo the speed buffer can be read to tell the actual milage. not worth getting caught.... some times the lease isnt the better idea is it?

 

I work for Specmo Auto Sound & Speed and we do this all day long.(but legally) We are 1 of 5 in the world who can legally change odo settings. The mileage is stored in 4 places in that vehicle. And we also do odo tamper checks for dealers and what not, and we ALWAYS check the perp. You can change the odo setting but it is VERY difficult without $80,000 programmer we use. It is a federal offense to odo tamper. Up tp 15 years and 10 times the stick value of the vehicle if caught.

 

no one buy a car from someone who asks how to roll miles back

Hey........... I don't agree with it, I just was asking for my knowledge. HNDAPWR thanks for the info.....always nice to know. Thanks for answering this shady post!

 

Very interesting HNDAPWR. I can't belive that programmer is $80,000. Is it universal for all OBD cars or what? I bet I could write something a lot cheaper than 80,000. Is all it does is reset millage or does it do a bunch of other stuff?

 

Bro, its boils down to who you know, I work at a dealer and for instant I could just buy a instrument cluster, and have a tech program the new miles in. Thats probably the easiest way and cheapest instead of a "80,000" dollar machine. Just make sure that any last mileage record isn't higher that the new milage.
