    Interesting one. I know speedos are usually 3 or 4 mph out but this should always be over the actual speed rather than under, right?

    Well mine seems to be under estimating.

    If i use cruise control and set it to 50 for example, the needle will be around the 46/47 mark.

    Ive enabled the digital speedo display in the MFD too and that matches up with the cruise control speed.

    Also downloaded a couple of GPS speedo apps and again they pretty much match up with the digital numbers.

    Is there a way to recalibrate the needle?

    Might be a dumb comment but mine has ACC and wont get close to a vehicle in front and will hold a lower speed based on the distance you set.
