The EL AND EF had Hidden Cluster functions Digital speed etc
You had to hold the [MODE] button down while starting the car Is there anything like that with the BA-XT? |

i could be going 100km/h on the dial where the digital speedo shows exact speed which might be 96km/h.

There is a "Police" mode available for the BA\BF Which gives you a digital speed reading in the trip computer display on the non-premium sound version of the cluster. But you forfeit most of the trip computer readouts. It has to be enabled via the Ford Service computer.

I would assume it's only about 15 minutes work, so in theory it shouldn't cost more than $30 or so. But don't quote me...

I cant comment on the cost of doing it on a Ford, however the same thing was and is available on the Comm's and I had mine switched over to Police Mode, and it cost me nothing...Just some ammo if you wanted to challenge your local ford Dealer for charging for the "privledge"

So, you are expecting the dealer to book the car, get the tech to spend 1/4 to 1/2 an hour with a WDS worth thousands, and not charge you something for it? ![]() |

Anyway. Can this be done on cars with premium sound (trip functions on the ICC). So loosing something thats not in the dash doesnt really matter. i would rather see what the true speed is rather than the needle.

Depress the Button for 1 second, then release for 1 second. Do this 5 Times in 10 seconds) 3) Release the Odometer Button for 5 seconds. 4) Depress the Odometer Button for 7 Seconds. 5) Release the Odometer Button for 5 Seconds. 6) Depress the Odometer Button for 7 Seconds.

Yes.. there is software that can read Canbus and I2C..
Forget which Ford used. I have heard of it being done. Most likely why there aren't any secret dash functions.. |

Ford should incorporate some sort of technology in the cluster that will monitor & detect highway patrol vehicles incoming... that'll be so cool. press this button and that button and you get into this mode.
