Going to cheat

grumpygy
In another post I said my Speedometer(speedo for those that read the other post[:D]) Was not working, well the only thing not working on it is showing the speed. All the other feature like trip meter and warning gauges are working fine. And since they want and arm and a leg for one I'm going to finally use my old GPS unit for the speed feature.[:D]

Almost I forgot I owned one it was in the compartment behind the passenger seat in my car. Just hoping that the battery takes a charge.

    I'd be interested to see how accurate it is. While I always reccomend fixing a vehicles instruments, may I reccomend you first try it in a vehicle with a working speedometer as an accuracy check?

    Did that today on the way to town. Seemed like it was right on. Just have to watch certain areas where it looses a satellite. Speed may be off a little. Weird it was the very same places I lost XM.

    Did you look on ebarf? They have used speedos for sale. Install is easy. Usually 4 screws and tilting the wheel down.

    You can get the whole shebang rebuilt for under 200 bucks.

    I lost XM on purpose, they have been trying to get me back ever since. Really, Top 100 radio for 8 decades? Even the classical offerings are limited.

    I went that route when the trip meter on my motorcycle quit. The repair quote was twice what a used speedo cost me.
