Agreed. The 2013-2020 cars have a nice balance when it comes to the digital speedo smoothing. Not too slow so you don’t jump around as much as Porsche‘a cluster, and not an illegible blur like ford’s implementation. |

Did the "nice" officer take the payment in cash and in a brown envelope?

Given that it's likely the speedometer is wrong anyway (see earlier discussion about accuracy) it's just a reference.

At this point the question is: how to increase the speed of the speed? Do you think it’s a simple software tune they can make in a Toyota/Subaru garage? Or will we have to change the whole instrument panel? |

IMO the speedometer in the first gen is useless.. We have the digital speedometer inside the tachometer so thats what i look at if i want to know speed.
Love the mechanical tach and also the fact that its right in the middle of the dash. Reminds me of the older STIs back then |

still, this is all really silly especially for our cars with relatively low power... I know what speed all my gears top out at, gear choice, engine sound & speed is all that I need to know how fast I'm going...people who feel they need the speed indicator need to learn more about their engine and gearing. |

Even if it does bounce +-1 mph, there are better ways to filter that out digitally than just slowing the refresh rate down to ~2 Hz. These cars have decent brakes though. |

I personally think a high sampling rate would probably be more annoying then the current one. Ever try reading a high accuracy digital scale with poor filtering for hysteresis and a high sampling rate?

Sounds like a DIY for one of you CANBUS gurus. It is probably broadcasting all the time, the speedo just only listens for it so often.
