Reciently switched to an better instrument cluster, after installation it is about 25 MPH off, how do I reset?  I assume that I disconnect the instrument panel, disconnecty the battery, then reconect the panel then the battery?

Second question pertaining to the RKE.....does the vehicle need to have an radio installed for the grounding of the green/white wire.  There is no current to the green / white wire from one end (radio besel - radio missing) to the other in the trunk.

Thanks

I think the speedo prob is consistant with alot of our cars, the HUD seems to work...

as for the green/white wire to set your RKE, there shouldnt be a current to it.  When you set it, you are grounding the wire by attaching the jumper to the braided cable.  And that grounds the wire and when the wire is grounded it puts the RKE unit into set mode?

not sure if i made myself clear or not, but no current is normal.
