Take the SIM card out of it, problem solved.

Here's an example of motor manufacturers selling driver's data to data brokers, and eventually sold on to insurance companies. It's a very slippery slope... I don't want anything smart in my car, especially if our Government have a finger in the pie.
Fair enough, just assumed as it has been a thin many years ago (i.e. being clocked) then it would have been massively improved. Guess I overestimated car manufacturersIt's harder than it used to be. But still pretty easy, you just need software, laptop and cable. Changed mine on my display when the screen died, set it to the same as the other modules.
If you just wanted to fool the MOT it's a 2 minute job. Longer of you want to change it on the drivetrain and ECU as well.
Legitimate reasons why it needs to be doable though, like me when you need to replace a part such as the clocks.Fair enough, just assumed as it has been a thin many years ago (i.e. being clocked) then it would have been massively improved. Guess I overestimated car manufacturers.
Is that really a think these days? I'd bet as a percentage of repairs it would be mega low. Why would they need replacing in the first place, I could see old need replacing if the needs dropped off or a segment on the display died (which might have just answered my questionLegitimate reasons why it needs to be doable though, like me when you need to replace a part such as the clocks.

Considering how much more complicated the digital dashes are these days there must be a lot more to go wrong compared to the old needle or odd backlight lamp failing.Is that really a think these days?

Kind of ironic that it could probably be locked so only the manufacturer could change it, but that would make it a pita to repair.Problem with a lot of cars in the last ~20 years or so is they use a digital display for showing mileage. Whilst not a common fault, various components can fail which may lead to replacements requiring the mileage to be set again.
If the manufacturer can change it, it’s likely someone will be able to change it given enough time.Kind of ironic that it could probably be locked so only the manufacturer could change it, but that would make it a pita to repair.
