Others

Since the DigiFiz was not part of the standard equipment and was otherwise rather poorly received, the distribution of new and replacement parts for this speedometer is very limited today.

At Audi, a DigiFiz was also offered as a special accessory in the 80/90 / Coupe (Type 81 and Type 85) models. It was built in several different versions and was manufactured throughout by Bosch Mobile Kommunikation.

Also at Opel were u. a. Digital speedometers installed in the (sport) models of the Kadett E series (e.g. GSI 16V models). The main difference to the DigiFiz was the still analog (mechanical) trip or total odometer. These displays are also displayed digitally on DigiFiz.
