Nope, it won't. You need the odometer reading and the VIN to install a new speedo unit.

It is illegal and can be done just like anything else by someone with the ability to solder electronic components and access to ready made ecu chips for your year/make of car or schematics for the chip.

Not worth the investment or the trouble if you ask me.

Over here (UK), some cars are delivered to the dealer in D mode. in D mode the odo can be reset to zero, and it automatically resets after 200 miles.
The idea is the dealer does this as they deliver the car to you.

My wife's Alfa was mistakenly left in this mode when delivered to her...

Perhaps that is what the OP is referring to?

No, his car I believe is here in the US and he is having it modified so it is being moved around prior to him taking it to Peru.
In Peru there looks to be a new law that if a car has over X miles on it they classify it as used and alter the tax rate. So the OP is trying to return it 0 or below the miles that pushes him over.

Ahh.. i get it.. when he said "above that" I assumed he meant "just above that", not 10k above that
