2007 Civic Odometer - switch between km & miles?
Hi,
I am considering importing a 2007 Honda Civic SI from the US to Canada. In order to pass inspection in Canada the car will need to have it's spedometer and odometer converted from miles to KM. Is the electronic spedometer and odometer in the civic easily converted from miles to kms? Thanks for your reply. |

Pretty simple, and outlined in the manual... I make frequent treks into Ontario, and switch it every time I cross... |

NO. Your speedometer is already dual-labeled, which is all that's required. Transport Canada does not care about your odometer.

As well, bumper rebars may need to be changed to Canadian- standard ones. (Once you're across the border with a permanent ticket, in most provinces you can uninstall all that stuff, so plan for reversal of the changes if you want to keep the car original.) The OP needs to contact American Honda with the car's VIN, and get a "Letter of Compliance", which will state the car's importation status for Canada. This will tell him what needs to be changed. At that point, he can decide if it's worth it or not to bring the car up here. All this (except the uninstall info) is in the RIV page I referenced. RIV is the company contracted by Transport Canada to perform importation certification on behalf of Transport Canada. http://www.riv.ca/english/html/how_to_import.html -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Seems a shame that the thing is made there, imported to the states, and it takes all that crap to get it back home... ;-) |
