Can you confirm, Phil?
You are correct in that, post modification, both the speedo and odometer now read in miles.

It is entirely possible to only connect the chip to the ECU: The speedo and odo will continue to read km, but then your needle will hit the end of it's track at 180.

I don't think the chip will loop through, but you could use a two way switch to select the speedo/odo input between the modified and unmodified signals. Alternatively you could fit a european speedo which presumably measures km/h higher than 180.
