Not Accurate Enough

When I tried this product, I found that it wasn't accurate enough for my automotive needs. The readings were often off, which caused me some serious problems on the road. The only positive thing I can say is that it was easy to install. But unfortunately, that doesn't make up for the lack of accuracy.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Not accurate enough

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect speedometer to refurbish an old dashboard.

Fits perfectly in the dashboard of a '85 MB 380sl. Accurate, attractive, smooth-running replacement for an old speedometer that won't work when you upgrade to the 5.0 HO engine's electronic input.

Pros
  • Conventional bulbs illuminate the edge of the dial
Cons
  • Large and chunky

Auto Meter 3983 Sport-Comp GPS Speedometer

Speedometer works great. The instructions don't show how to connect the bulbs to the rest of the wiring. I like the speedometer because it doesn't require calibration or wiring to the transmission.

Pros
  • Using up to 3 GPS satellites simultaneously and sampling 10 times per second
Cons
  • Poorly designed
