- Vehicle-specific wiring harness — built for the Audi R8's exact connector layout; where possible we use OEM-style connectors for a factory-quality fit.
- Plug & Play installation — no cutting, soldering, or coding required; connects behind the instrument cluster in minutes.
- Selectable mileage reduction — choose to record 10% of actual distance; check the Operating Modes section for speedometer behaviour in each mode.
- Cruise-control limitation — cruise control does not function in either active mode; return to the off mode for normal vehicle operation.
- Fully removable — remove cleanly at any time; no mileage catch-up occurs and use is not detectable through diagnostics after removal.
- Persistent mode memory — the active mode is retained between ignition cycles; no need to reactivate each time.
- Optional extended cable — a long-cable version is available to make the module easier to reach; select when ordering.
Operation & Functional Modes
Flash the high beams 4 times in quick succession.
Published active behaviour (mode numbers not specified): With this model the speedometer will not work fully. However it provides good indication of driving speed as it displays speed value divided by 10. 10% of driving speed and 10% mileage is counted. Easy to work out driving speed (7mph = 70mph). With this type speedometer cruise control does not work when blocker activated.
How it works
Modern vehicles store distance data in multiple electronic control units simultaneously — not just the instrument cluster. When a mileage blocker stops the odometer, secondary modules such as the transmission control unit or engine ECU continue logging the true distance independently. Diagnostic tools including VCDS, Autel and dealer-level software can read these secondary values and flag a mismatch.
The Audi R8 Mileage Blocker eliminates that discrepancy. It physically replaces the vehicle's original OBD socket with an identical-looking unit that contains the built-in emulator. Once fitted, it works permanently in the background with no activation required. When diagnostic equipment is connected, the emulator intercepts the CAN bus messages from the relevant module before they reach the scanner and replaces them with the matching values read from the instrument cluster.
The result is that all modules report a consistent reading and no discrepancy is visible to any diagnostic tool. Because the unit looks identical to the original OBD socket, there is no visible sign it has been replaced. We recommend leaving it fitted permanently — removing it allows the secondary module to be read normally again, which may reveal a discrepancy if a mileage blocker has been used.
Extended cable with quick-removal option+£39.00
The standard cable supplied with the device is sized to reach the installation point directly. The extended cable option adds approximately 45 cm of additional cabling, allowing you to route the module away from the installation point to a more accessible location.
This is particularly useful if you want to tuck the module behind a trim panel that can be removed without tools — for example, a kick panel, lower dashboard cover, or boot side trim.
The quick-removal feature means the module can be disconnected and removed in seconds without disturbing the original wiring — useful for track days, MOT inspections, or any situation where you want the device temporarily out of the vehicle.
