Speedometer Interface
The speedometer interface eliminates shadowing and combining, by comparing the radar speed to
the speedometer. The module is connected to the vehicle's OBD (On Board Diagnostics) 16-
position connector under the driver's side dash or the speedometer pulse wire. The DB-9 cable
that is supplied with the speedometer interface is connected to the radar DB-9 connector on the
