My dads maxima tripodometer and (total mileage)odomoter (or whatever the f#ck its called) broke. So hes been wondering what his mileage has been. I remember seeing a device that you can insert into your cigarette lighter to read, MPH, mileage, fuel consumption, 0-60 times and whatnot advertised around the car and driver TV show.

I've been looking for one(on google) but its hard since I have no idea what its called or who makes it.

Odometer+ calculator

Edit: Ah the OD's broken..duhh

Fix Od THEN do above.

(sorry NEVER heard of such a device, but I would assume the OD would still have to work)

wouldn't that include removing the dash?

btw: I'm not going to fix it and my dad sure as hell aint going to fix it and he defiantly isnt going to pay someone to fix it. ;)

I'm looking for the quick fix here.

You could adapt a Bicycle computer to the car. ;)

JUST FIX the damn thing! It's really NOT that hard!
Go to a junk yard and buy a used one.
