Silly idea i know but i wanna know if its possible to put 2 speedos in a VW?? one in mph's and one in Kmh's.
Considering there is only one speedo cable, would i have to get a electric speedo? Pls don't tell me iif u think its a stupid idea or not, i just wanna know if it can be done any otha way besides a electric one.
Cheers

an electric one is probably possible
dads old nissan had a VDO speed alert that just had a magnetic pick up of the tail shft from memory
so all u'd need is an electronic speedo

since the cable is a direct drive it maybe possible to build an adaptor that will transfer the power to 2 cables therefore to 2 speedos.

use a vdo electronic adaptor and away you go ,power and earth to your new elec spedo and the digital signal from the adaptor --thats it,and you get to keep your old orig one as well

yes, its called GPS.

Dont USA cars have the cable on the other wheel??
Couldnt you just have a different stub axle and drive the 2nd speedo with that??

that would be the way to go, having 2 cabels driven from 2 wheels, or failing that the old electric speedo!
CREWCC gps is very unreliable, i know of gps systems that told me i was doing 6kph north, the engine wasn't turned on!!, i was working under the dash!

try a shop that deals with rally cars, they should have (or be able to tell you where to find) splitters used to fit halda's etc.

just get a single speedo that displays markers for MPH and KPH... that's what my old MG had 😉

Or a wireless bike computer. easy.

Precisely, Just out of pure curiosity, why not?
I reckon it'd been kool, to have the original in miles and anotha in kms.
