Default Any way to show digital speedometer in 09 isf?

Really annoyed no digital speedometer in 09isf.
Any way to show that? I always ended up speed much more than I'd like! Afraid I'll get a ticket any second.

My 09m3 didn't have it but I got it programmed with coding. Just curious if something like that is possible

You mean an OEM way? Nope. I hate it on my 08 too. Was almost tempted to get an 11+ just for that feature.

If you want it on the OEM Navi screen the Grom VLine is probably your best/only option. It uses its own GPS and isn't perfect but better than nothing for sure. I use it daily. I'd imagine there is likely a way to hook it up to an OBD2 scanner to get speed through the OEM sensors but I haven't tried that.

If you are alright with another screen being used, like your phone then you can likely use a wireless OBD2 scanner to do that. Some GPS apps like Waze show it by default also. Or if you want a completely separate device then maybe something like a Garmin/TomTom GPS.

There's an androids app called torque that i used with a Bluetooth obd2 scanner that has digital display dashboards you can customize. It worked on my S2000. I have the digital speedometer on my 2012 so I never had the torque app tested on the F. I would think it would work too.

Assuming you have a phone, tablet or Grom to use torque.
Otherwise, not on the OEM cluster .

Get a radar detector with GPS that shows your speed is the next best thing

yeah this is why I was so stubborn on my search for 2011+ Lexus ISF the little stuff.

I wonder if the 08-10 models cluster is interchangeable with a 11+ or if anybody has tried to do so.

I don't think there is a an OEM solution next to buying a 2011+ cluster or buying a 2011 model haha

Looks like the forum pondered this six years ago, but it went nowhere. Someone even verified the harness was the same.

if the harness is the same it should work and easy swap

I believe ISFPOWER here on the forum upgraded to the newer version.
