I have a MY2012 V70 D5, which has on the digital display inside the tacho "km/h current speed".
I want to set this to mph, I don't think this is possible in the settings after some research, does anyone know if it could be coded in by a Volvo specialist? Thanks Mike |

Don’t think you’ll be able to do it, there needs to be a kph read out, it’s usually on the Speedo dial but not on the P3 models, so that’s why I assume it’s a selectable digital read out.

As per reggit's answer, it's not possible. A UK dealer couldn't do it as it would render the vehicle contrary to the Construction and Use regulations. VDASH doesn't offer it either.
In order to have a digital MPH readout on my XC70, I fitted an aftermarket head-up display. It was only about £11, but it's excellent. It simply plugs into the OBD2 port. It can be calibrated and it auto-dims at night.

I wanted a small display that only showed speed, so I opted for the A1000 type. I mounted it using magnetic/adhesive pads close to the A pillar, then ran the wiring down inside the door seal to the OBD2 port. A very simple and highly effective mod. I have to admit that the interface isn't that great, but once set it shouldn't need changing.
Here's a link to a similar unit to mine. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124550021311
