    Hi guys! is it possible to disconnect just the odometer letting the speedometer and the partialmeter connected? Any picture of the connector to disconnect? (PS it is for my eyes only....I will never sell my red passion! ;))

    Why not just put the car on jack stands after every drive, put in reverse and let her run til all the days mileage is erased. This way no one can see you were screwing with the connection. We all have been doing this for years.

    I stopped erasing mileage with jack stands after seeing Ferris Bueller.

    You should just try to sell your car now (although congratulations - it may be impossible) and go buy FOREX.

    Ferris Bueller conclusively proved you cannot simply put the car in reverse and erase miles.

    Well ok, that was a faux car, with faux miles, maybe you can't erase faux Ferrari miles, but that shouldn't deter an effort to erase REAL Ferrari miles, should it?

    The Odo reading only matters if you are selling the car and want to fool a prospective buyer into believing the car has less mileage than it really does.

    Since you are never selling it, why bother? ;)

    It's just a question of 'seeing' the odo....I REALLY will not sell the car and I really will never erase miles....but for my mind i would like to freeze miles when I want.....i know it's something stupid but it is just a psycological reason..... In the last time every time i want to do a long trip i start to think about the miles that I will put on the odometer...and if I may have the chance to stop the odometer I would take the car more often with less problems...

    What you are talking about is illegal in many places. Furthermore, if you aren't going to sell your car why do you care about the miles on it? Generally, people that want to do what you are speaking of do it to deceive future buyers so they can ask a higher price when they sell the car. Although, I can't imagine anyone trusting anything you represent about your car after they read your post seeking information about how to tamper with the odometer.

    Put some electrical tape over the glass to cover the odometer only. You won't have to look at the miles until you someday decide to sell it and your mechanic can still record your mileage upon service during your annuals.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Go ahead and post a picture of the car and the Vin, then we'll tell how to to put that pesky odometer on a switch. We do it here in the U.S. All the time. It's kind of a secret though, don't tell anyone who doesn't have a Ferrari

    Isn't this like your wife lying to you every night and telling you she's a virgin?
