I recently purchased a 2009 LS 460, and I was wondering is their anyway to remove the display of the odometer reading for the entire mileage on the car? Just curious!

Thanks!

Lol..............

Maybe with only your SECOND post ever here at CL, you could tell us, WHY??

Highly unlikely, and depending what you do to it and what state you do it in, probably illegal.

Just switch to Trip A or Trip B and it wont show the ODO mileage (unless of course you hit trip again to cycle back to ODO.)

If you mean turn it off when you are getting in the car, or right after you turn the car off (as it stays on for a little bit) this can be changed in teachstream to shut the display off immediately after ignition off. There is no way to make the information unavailable while the car is running. If the car is on, and you hit the trip button, you WILL see the mileage after cycling past Trip B.

Good point Joe. For some reason I was just thinking about permanently removing the odometer display.

No thanks, don't need it that bad.

Were you able to find a solution to this? I have an 08 LS460L and am considering a 2011 LS460L. I have seen that in the 2013 and later, that you can toggle the display as mentioned by some. This was the case with my 2001 LS430, but have not seen it to be the case with the LS460 from 2007-2012?????

You just bumped a 2+ year old thread from someone with 2 posts. I wouldn't hold my breath for a reply.

Of course, you can toggle the display in 2007-2012 LS. Just push the Trip button on the right side of the dash display to cycle between the Trip odometers and the Total odometer. Unless you are interested in resetting the total odometer to zero, which is illegal.

LOL. Exactly. And is this not the norm in ANY car produced in the last...oh, I don't know....25 years?!

File this question with others such as, " how do you open the glovebox", or "how do you engage the child lock on a passenger door".

Visiting the US atm., and have rented a 2009 LS460 (via toru) claiming 87000 miles on the odometer. No way. This "ex taxi" (according to the rego papers) has done a lot more miles than that. My 2007 LS460 (100kms) is a much tighter ride. So there must be some bad person out there winding back the odometers on these.

That is the one thing I miss on my LX470 (actually I really miss the car in general just not getting 10 MPG) was that like apparently the newer LS's, you could switch to the trip odometer and have that in place of the mileage.

That said, I sport my 94,000 miles with pride. For a 10 year old car, that is relatively low mileage. I am surprised there is not a thread pertaining to who has the highest mileage on a LS460. While I have noticed 460's on Autotrader with close to 300,000 miles, I cannot remember once anyone here discussing or owning a 200,000 mile plus 460.

I know with Toyotas there is a way to unhook the odometer and not have it register miles. I've seen it done. You then have no speedometer. Problem is the people who do it arent doing it to get away with 10k or even 20k miles. They do it so the car will actually have 300k miles but only show 50k which at that point it is completely obvious. It's kind of stupid to be honest.
