Can Digital Mileage Be Clocked?

Adjusting a vehicle's digital ODO is NOT illegal here. It only becomes illegal if you knowingly sell the vehicle without disclosing the modification of the speedometer reading. This process of mileage recalibration and non-disclosure of the calibration is known as 'Clocking'.

Is it possible to roll back mileage on a digital odometer?

Digital odometers can be rolled back by removing the vehicle's circuit board to change the odometer reading, or using rollback equipment that hooks right into the vehicle's electronic system.

Is it illegal to clock back mileage?

Although it's illegal to alter a car's odometer and then sell it on without telling the buyer that its mileage has been changed, the actual act of turning back the odometer isn't illegal.
