INFO
Set ODOM
To enter the setup mode, press and hold SW1 while turning the key/ACC power on. The
display should light up and show SETUP on the speedometer/LCD1 and tachometer/LCD2
message displays. Release the switch and Setup SPEED should display on LCD1, this is the

SPEEDOMETER SETUP/CALIBRATION
There are two main methods for calibrating the speedometer, Auto Cal and Adjust. Auto
Cal requires that you have one measured mile marked out. Adjust requires you to follow another
vehicle going at a set speed, use a handheld GPS with speedometer function, or time yourself
over a mile to determine your speed.
* It is simplest to start with the Auto Cal method to get the speedometer close. If you find
it's reading too fast/slow after the Auto Cal, then attempt the Adjust mode.
Press and hold SW1, then turn the key on and start the engine. Once the engine is
running, release SW1. "SEt SPEED" should be displayed. Press and hold the switch until
"SPEED SENDER" is displayed to go into the speed setup menus, release SW1.
Now you can press and release the switch to scroll through the sub-menus, "sender"
"auto" "adjust" "Service" "output" "DONE". When you get to the desired sub-menu, press
and hold the switch to select it.

the speed signal from an ECU if you are installing the system in a vehicle equipped with the
OBDII port or a drive train from a newer vehicle; most 1996 and newer vehicles have this.
If you are using a Dakota Digital pulse generator or feeding an ECU signal into the SPD
SND terminal, this is considered a
When "speed Sender" is displayed, press and hold SW1 until the message screen
