haha yeah I think its called police mode or something like that, theres also a taxi mode. Truth!

Dam man - you serious?

I could have so used that when I lived in Botany up the road from Jimmy Barnes himself - so close to the airport we could never get dam cabs to come pick us up (not me and Jimmy never shared a cab with him, rather people in our street)... Trip was so short I alwys missed my flights!!!

Could have saved me load$$$$$...

And I guess that gives new meaning to all the people that call Falcons "Taxi's" - carry one of the scanners around and when they say you drive a taxi can can really say - one sec, not yet but I can!!!

Something ford have always lacked.

hhhmm digital speedos were around back in the days of EA and EB Fairmont Ghai's, Fairlanes, and LTD's...

I was advised by a reliable source they pulled the digital idea from the cars as far to many owners were complaining they were to hard to use, due to the constant changes in readings... Looks cool, but I agree - Pain in the arse!

You can plug in a scan tool and set the car to run in a sort of police mode.

However this will do other things to the car, the interior light won't work, the indicators dont flash when you lock the car, the horn doesnt sound if you lock the car and a door is open, you lose you instant and average fuel economy on your trip computer.

The advantage is you get the digital speedo and some other reading, but I'm unsure of what it is.

I think this is the only way to can get the digital speedo to work.

had my car in police mode for nearly 12 months now, my interior lights work, indicators flash when locking and unlocking, horn still works if door open when locking.

you do loose all you trip computer and stuff it is replaced with digital speedo and a 'speed capture' function wich dose a whole lot of nothing

^ that's on a BF2. I have a BA2 and another mate has a BA1 all with police mode on. only thing you lose is the data displayed in the little LCD in the gauge cluster as that now displays your speed (even speed in reverse!)
