Hi.

I bought a 2nd hand 2010 Ford S max 1.8 Tdci from NI and I have 2 queries

1) I can change the speed from imperial to metric but the mileage remains in miles and the speedometer is also in mph. I've looked around and there's a company lockwoodinternational in the UK who'd do a new fascia for £180 + VAT. Also to change the mileage to a metric system, it requires a VCM adapter along with the IDS software in order to change the parameter. I found out that a cheaper option is to change the convers dashboard for a convers+. What I'd like to know is if there's anyone who could reprogram one with the correct mileage if I buy one 2nd hand ?

2) The Ford 6000CD doesn't read any CDs (original ones). It complains it can not read the disk and ejects it straight away. Which multimedia radio would you advise considering I want to retain display, wheel controls, Bluetooth and Voice control ?

Are there any shops out there who specializes in this ? Not Halfords.

thanks in advance
Cheers
Gaetan
