On my 01 LS430, I have not found a way to turn off the odometer display. I had hoped that I could "cycle through" some other displays and stop at the empty display where nothing is seen (like on the trip computer). Is that possible?

 

No. Thats what I like about my 98, you toggle between Trip A/B and ODO. Dont you just hate it when poeple ride with you for the first time, and gaze at your ODO to est what your cars worth?

I hate that, plus i rather see how many miles i've driven since I last fueled.

 

EXACTLY!! People do that all the time, that's why I always have mine on trip. I haven't really payed attention to the new LS's toggler although my dad has one.

 

......I have mine always on TRIP A or B .....and I share that sentiment about people .....one acquaintance even asked me to toggle thru so he could see the mileage on my car. I told him it's stuck and does not work ......guess he got the message .......BTW, my car has 63K miles on it (truthfully, but I only share this with my clublexus compadres ) ......but many people who are not very "model savvy" have thought it's a brand new Lexus because of how it looks, rides and drives

 

I have no idea what type of gains it will provide them by knowing how much your cars worth.

Some people dont even know remotly how much my LS would be worth, or have any knowledge about any Lexus, yet they just NEEEEEEEED to know how much miles you have.

Why cant they just say nice car and leave it at that?

 

wow, must be a super nosy guy

LOL, I like how you told him off

And some get more creative with the way they ask...

 

Who freaking cares if someone sees your mileage?!

 

For me, its not what others see, but what I see. To me, the cumulative mileage is much less important a fact than Oil Temp or Pressure. Less is more!

 

i also dont get it.. if your car is older it will obviously have more miles.. what the big deal anyway ?

 

its not that.

 

Wow joined the site just to post that. I wonder if I can trace your ip and see if your another member here

 

I'm not another member here, I have nothing to hide. I just find it asinine that people are so self-conscious to hide the fact thet their car might be getting on in miles. If you can't afford a newer car or just plain have something better to spend your money on ... who freaking cares?

This reminds me of the kids who put Type-S badges on non-S cars, BMW M badges on non-M cars, etc.

Don't be ashamed of who you are. It's unhealthy, and frankly anyone who is impressed by me having money is not someone that I'd want to impress in the first place.

 

Actually its not that. But you see, SOME people stare at your mileage HOPING its going to be 957,454 so they can feel better because they don’t have what you have. So it tortures this type of people not knowing how many miles you have on the car (it really does to some people), my exact goal. Its not about hiding high mileage or anything.
