What a weird question...why would you want to do that? Unless you're trying to scam potential buyers.

I do know that most cars have some kind of anti-tampering system on odometers these days, e.g. reading 999,999.

Isn't that odometer digital? Seems like it would be quite an undertaking. Trashercan, you're gonna make everyone on this board who reads this RELUCTANT to buy a used car from you hah hah hah! Also, for obvious ethical reasons, I doubt that anyone on this board would share information on such a procedure, even if it's known to them. Cheers mate,

It's simple really. Just use the same old trick that electronic techs discovered back in the 1980's to stop that incessant flashing from VCR clock displays.

Do you plan on using that tape to cover his odometer or his mouth?

If you are planning on doing this to keep the mileage down it is not worth it and the only way is to disconnect the Speedometer. Diconnecting it is registered in the Cars computer (it throws a code) that has to be reset by the dealer.
