Navigation Speedometer
#51
For those that are comparing the speed between the speedometer and the gps, will changing the nav's pulse rate (using the backdoor menu) increase the accuracy between the two speed? This is just a guess. My thinking is the pulse rate is the interval at which the computer takes a reading. If you can reduce it, you would increase the accuracy. This has been lurking in my mind for a while, but I'm too chicken to try for fear of messing up the nav system.

thanks every one for your responses. i have been away on vacation out of the country and havent really been on the rx8 site, so it was good to come back and see everyone take an intrest in this. maybe by the time i get my 8, there will be some way to get a reliable reading from the nav system.

I was very happy to stumbel across this thread, however, after seeing how cool the speedo check was, i noticed that one of my lights didnt work.
As you can see in the picture these three items work: GPS, Parking Brake, and Back-up Light. However the headlights dont work. In actualality my fog lights are not working. can others with working head and fog lights please check this out. Thansk Matt
