458 How to make right side of speed show digits for MPH?

Press and hold down the right most button "back/view" on the right side toggle to get that display, the larger MPH readout comes handy

 

Now that Sam explained how to do it, it’s up to you to make it look like this.

Kind regards,

That’s gotta be fake news, yes Nuno? 344 kph (I’m assuming) is 215mph.....?

 

Page 125 in my manual:

Speedometer display
The speedometer can be displayed on the right TFT display in “Speedometer” or “Digital speed” mode.
To select the desired display mode, call up the MENU screen page on the left TFT display (see page 98) and select the items “Display setup”, “Display right”.
“Speedometer” screen page
The “Speedometer” screen page indicates the speed by displaying a virtual analogue speedometer.
“Digital speed” screen page
The “Digital speed” screen page indicates the speed in digital form.

 

It's been raining all week so this gave me an excuse to go sit in my car and confirm:

Turn off the radio / satnav

 

Low fuel, carbon fiber options and perhaps a small incline, it’s not that hard or uncommon.

Official Top speed of 325 is severely underestimated.

Kind regards,

Displayed top speed is also overestimated, as with all car speedometers - and at 325 kph a 3% error is already almost 10 kph... anyway, official top speed of the 458 Italia is "more than 325 kph", with no indication of how much more

 

You’re right. Ferrari is very conservative when announcing a vehicle’s performance data, and not just with respect to the 458. They’ve done it with the 488 too. The 488 has an officially declared top speed of 330 kph, but we all know it’s higher (display speed). I’ve seen as high as 345 kph. With the F8, I’m expecting more of the same.

Underdeclaring is actually nice. Better than overdeclaring!

Kind regards,

Nuno.

 

Range of 78km with half a tank left? Lol! Well done.

 

Yes. As far as I can tell the digital speed read out on the right tft only comes on when there is no music or satnav.

 

That has not been my experience. Having the right tftp screen on speedometer turns off the SCREEN for music / satellite / phone, but does not turn off music. You press and hold the BACK / VIEW button to swap between the screens, but i have no problem playing music with the right screen on speedometer. My only thought is that it is possible you switched the source for the music and there is nothing for it to play. You can use the button on the back of the right side of the steering wheel to switch between sources (HDD, AM / FM, SAT, IPOD) without having to switch from the speedometer screen. If that doesn't work then I think there is something wrong because it definitely works with no problems for me (2014 Spider).

That explains what is happening. If you were holding the two outer buttons at the same time you were changing the view and turning the radio off. The buttons have two labels, the top label is when you tap it, the bottom is when you hold it. The left button is MAIN / ON OFF. If you were holding it you were turning the radio off. The right button is BACK / VIEW so you want to hold only that button to change the view on the right tft screen between "music / phone / nav" and "speedometer."

Yes, well that doesn’t work.
You need to do what you say above but then you need to press and hold down the back and view buttons on the right side controls at the same time and then it comes up.

 

Post directly above this one: "The right button is BACK / VIEW so you want to hold only that button to change the view on the right tft screen between "music / phone / nav" and "speedometer."

 

Is there a way to change the analog speedometer between MPH/KPH on the left side?

My digital reading is kph, but my analog one is mph. I would like to make the analog kph as well. Cant seem to find it in the menu
