Hi all, Have set my speed alert to digital speedo and have found that it is a different reading to the analog, for eg. at 100klms on the digital the analog reads 112klms/h and at 140klms/h on the digital tha analog reads 150klms/h. At the lower speeds it seems to read pretty close give or take a couple of klms but the higher the speed the more it go's out for eg. at 180-190klms/h it reads about 12-15klms/h out. just wondering which one to trust.

I would stick with the analouge, it would be hard to explain to a cop that you were speeding because your hacked digital speedo was out. :)

I remember reading somewhere here or maybe on the street commodores forum that if you adjust the number 100 that comes up when you first set the digital speedo mode then it will allow you to compensate for this problem.

hold both arrow buttons down when you trn the key to the on position. you can let go when you start the car. make sure u are holding both before you begin to turn the key or will not work.

Maybe you could borrow a GPS to identify which is correct, or at least the closest.
