Unfortunally the dealer can only change the mileage for you, i havent heard of anyone outside of a dealership being able to hook up a laptop and change the mileage for you. Call your local dealership and see if they can change the mileage for you it won't be cheap but it will be accurate.

Some speedo shops can change digital odometers. They'll charge from $100 to $200+
