I'm an old fart and my eyesight isn't what it use to be. Is there a replacement speedometer that I can put in my 2015 Sprint the reads primarily in MPH instead of KPH? Thanks

I believe SIP makes a replacement cluster that shows an analog and digital read out. Typically around $300.

Or you can just get a speedometer app for your smartphone with big numbers.

I have one called SpeedGlow that is just a big speed readout.

Much cheaper!

As the speedo isn't accurate anyway, stick thin strips of tape on at the pertinent marks. In the picture below the longer marks are at 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 on my GTS. Smaller ones at 20 and 80. GPS verified in my case, but just adding tape strips at 5 mph above the small speedo mph marks will do fine.

I was tired of doing mental math each time I saw a speed limit sign, so I used a label maker to make a conversion chart and stuck it to the back of the flyscreen

For those of us that do not have a Sprint, is KPH the prominent (larger) speed indicated on the gauge?

yes in white, MPH in red with smaller size number. Thus , harder to read.

Weird ... my 2016 Sprint is just the opposite.

EDIT :

I should have waited one minute before snapping the pic.

Not being snarky but to avoid confusion, it's usually written kmh or correctly km/h as on the speedo.

A lowercase fraction. Got it.
