It is well known that in cars equipped with analog odometers, unscrupulous dealers often reduce mileage in order to get a tangible benefit. Electronic odometers installed in modern cars should have been a formidable obstacle. Unfortunately, the "specialists" quickly implemented a number of methods to reduce the mileage displayed on the display. Both primitive and sophisticated methods are used to change entries in the car's computer memory that cannot be detected even by a factory tester.

Unfortunately, more and more often you can find advertisements in the press about workshops that provide services in the field of adjusting the readings of electronic meters.
