Speed readout in instrument cluster
Is there a way to get the current speed to readout in the instrument cluster in a 2000 S500?
It was mentioned to me , but I can't find anything in the menu to do that.
Thanks

My 2000 S430 needed the speedometer replaced around 43k miles under warranty. After the replacement, I noticed a digitial speedometer reading so I guess I gained an extra feature.

In my 2005 S500 I can use the arrow key to display the digital speedo however everytime I turn the car off and get back in the mileage display comes back up and I have scroll to get the the digital speedo again. Does anyone know if there is a way to "lock" the MPH display so that each time I start the car I dont have to change the diplay?

There is no way to make it a main menu item either.

Speed Readout
Gentlemen,
The speed readout came about in the '02 model (facelift) it is actually a function of the instrument cluster as the software was updated. If you get a cluster for the 02 year onwards, and program it to your car - you will have the same feature appear too!

I have a 2000 S500. I just had the instrument cluster replaced (under warrenty) and the new cluster has the speed setting. It was a new "universal" cluster.
