GTA Digital Dash odometer security
Silly question. How easy is it to mess with a GTA's odometer when it's digital?
I ask because there are a couple GTA's I'm looking at that seem too good to be true mileage wise.
Plus, when I stupidly sold my IROC, it had a big bag full of miles. I saw it a couple months later on eBay claiming 50,000miles and stored for 7 years. He even included a picture of the speedo, with the 50K on it. So, simply put, he replaced the speedo.

The odomoter in those has a little chip in it that can be replaced, or the entire odometer could also be replaced to change the mileage. But I don't think they can be hacked into to change the mileage.
