Connect a jumper wire from the magnet to the rim of the RH rear wheel,
get yourself underneath the car with the ign key in the off position.
You must hold the magnet underneath the RH side of the differential, about
half way up, for around 60 minutes.
The oddometer will start counting backwards, you can't see it, but don't
worry, providing you do not switch on, or move the magnet for the above
period of time, you should be ok.
Depending on the mileage, you may have to extend the time period.
Whatever you do, do not ever tell anyone that I gave you this
information.-))

Yeah Yeah, except that you have to hold the magnet for 24 hours (and
don't move it an inch), and it has to be a 10lb. magnet, and also you
have to connect a jumper wire not only to R/R wheel, but to all the
others as well, and they must be connected in parallel (not in
series). Also you must read this message in a sarcastic tone.

understand these things are quite legal in some asian countries cos' it
is not so strict with such laws with odometer there. And I know they
exist over there in Asia.
Although such things are prevelent despite the law, but I must warn you
that it is an offence here if you are caught. "Guns don't kill, people
do"

anyone here would give you illegal information? Any one of us could end up
purchasing your car someday. What gives you the right to alter your car's
odometer so that someone else, lease company or not, is shortchanged? On
second thought you *are* either an inbred moron or just trolling for flames.
Maybe www.fbi.gov can give you the info you're looking for.

conclusions.
While I expect that there would be a demand for odometer re-programming
units for illegal purposes, I personally would use one on my own car
quite legitimately if I had access to one.
I've just bought a car with about 15000km on the clock and I quite like
the idea of being able to set that to zero so that it shows only the
mileage done since I got the car.
When the time comes to sell the car I could do one of two things: Either
I could leave it as is and simply tell the buyer that the true mileage
is 15000km more than that shown or I could re-set it to show the correct
total mileage. Either way I would be being 100% honest and I see no
problem with that.
Certainly my use of the re-programming device would in no way have been
dishonest at all.
I appreciate that in some parts of the world it may well be illegal to
use such a device for ANY reason and, obviously, that would cast things
in a different light.

cluster, just two screws and it comes out real easy. Then you have to
pull out the screws on the back of the casing. Once you do that you
have to remove the white plastic covering and then pull out the actual
LCD readout. There is a cable attaching it to the circuit board, and
you just need to remove this, take it down to your local radio shack,
and they can give you a replacement part that when lit up will say
00000, and then you install this in your cluster, put it all back
together, and you are set. I will have to look up the number, so if you
are interested in giving this a try, send me an email at ba...@fbi.gov
and I will give you further details. What do you think. Pretty easy
huh?
Give it a try.

oddometer, it is illegal though to re-set an oddometer to show a lower
mileage than genuine with INTENT to deceive.
And that is what you were attempting.
You can get round all of that by ripping out the whole lot and paying for a
brand new unit. Or buying one from a scrapyard. Which is not in any way
illegal. They have to prove intent, difficult under those circumstances, but
still possible, so watch out.

certain amount of rebuilding has been done to enable the vehicle to be sold
as a "new" car. Classic restorations sometimes fit this criteria. The
vehicle must be inspected by the state however and the odometer reset at the
State Patrol vehicle inspection station. I personally have never taken
advantage of the process but have considered it for one of my own cars.
I am not sure but I believe it is also possible to reset the odometer, once
again with the consent of the Wash. State Patrol, if it is clearly stated on
the title and other sales information. Hope this helps.

you'd like to see how many miles you've done since!!!!
Here's my solution - cheaper and legal - why not subtract 15000 from the
number that you see, is that too difficult ?

You are the only human who have spoken here. Others foul mouthed animals
only know vulgarities.
In fact, you are right about the legal issues here. Anything "done" to your
odometer as long as it is disclosed, you are in no way committing any
offence.
I would also personally reset my odometer for fun as long as it is not too
expensive.

It is a felony only if the person did not disclose the changes. The act of
replacing or reseting is not an offcence.

your odometer, and the law cant do a damn thing about it. But when or if
you go to sell it, you better make sure that little box on your title thats
says "Milege in Excess -- WARNING ODOMETER DISCPENCEY". (somethig like that
and yes i know i cant spell).. if thats checked, you can lie to the buyer
all you want on the miles.. thats just ethically wrong but some people will
do anything...

zero... I have a 1985 323i Euro-spec and I plan to keep it forever. The car
is in pretty damn good shape right now, but I intend to restore it to mint
condition including an engine rebuild, tranny rebuild, all new suspension,
wheel bearings, brake calipers etc.... Essentially the car would be as good
as new and I when I do this I WILL reset the odometer to zero. IF I were to
sell it to someone, I would tell them that I did this and they would STILL
have to give me a hell of a lot of money to make me part with it...

Thanks for the advice. I tried it and it worked really well. I took
10000 off the clock.
