Hi guys,

Im renting a car in LA and my friend says I should just disconnect the speedo cable to get unlimited miles and not pay extra.

Is this true? can I get caught? Seems too good to me true

Unless your rental car is 30 years old, it will not be as simple as crawling under the car and unscrewing a cable
>>
>>14880318
Unplugging the cluster?
>>
>>14880316
People like you should be jailed soon. I also work in a rental in LA.

>>14880325
Which one? I need to rent a mustang coupe.
>>
No you idiot
>>
>>14880321
Nowadays mileage is stored in the ECU.

OP just get unlimited mileage already.

Just jack it up and put a brick on the gas in reverse to roll the miles back off

>>14880316
your friend is right about unplugging the speedo cable, but for the wrong reasons. You should remove the speedo cable completely from the car and hang your friend for being an amazing fucking moron.

Just kill yourself already jesus christ. Are you seriously considering tampering with a rental car to save a few bucks?
>>
>OP unplugs some random shit
>tries to reconnect it before he hands car back
>error messages out the wazoo
>forced to pay for repairs

Besides the obviously retarded reasoning for doing so, a modern car will likely throw several error codes and go into limp mode when you pull the cluster.

I know that happens on modern Fiestas and given how low they are on the cost spectrum im sure just about all others will do the same.

I don't know about all cars, but on BMWs the mileage is stored in both the cluster and the ECU. if you remove the cluster, you can drive for about 200km before the ECU's variance tolerance is tripped and the odometer tamper indicator is turned on. If you want to be a retard and see if all cars are like this, be my guest. Just be sure to report back.

And in the light switch unit+the key

I had a '97 Escort and when one of the cluster connectors came loose (bumpy roads), it caused the alternator to quit charging.

People like you who lack a proper education and work for minimum wage should be jailed.

ARE YOU THAT FUCKING RETARDED?
>>
>>14881031
This. After a few hours it should roll all the way across the earth and come back to where it started, with -50,000 miles on the odometer. Now you basically have unlimited miles

>>14880316
Do YOU come with the car? ;)

Unrelated but she is fucking wife material yo
