I never thought anyone would take the time to check....i rely soley on the HUD.....bottom line you know we're all speeding so who cares anyhow.

Mine is pretty accurate but remember that the HUD number is rounded to an even number, though I'm not sure how it is rounded. I imagine that could account for up to a mile's difference. But 3-4 mph seems like a lot.

Pretty close though.

That is how mine if off 1 MPH. The cruise almost always is 1 MPH higher that indicated on the HUD. Probably some function of rounding off the speed.
