    Fix, no. It just gives you a corrected readout as to the speed your actually doing plus many other parameters, i.e,; water temp, rpm, MAP, Load, MPG, things like that plus engine fault codes and reset.
    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    With my oversize tires, I just use a more "analog" method-- the Discount Tire website "Tire Calculator". It will show your projected travel speed at various MPH settings.

    For example, my oversize tires (275/65R18) run about 5 MPH above my actual speedometer reading. So if the posted speed limit sign says 60 MPH, then I just put my speedometer needle on 55 MPH with no worries.

    Uhhhhhh...

    Math don't work that way Riff...

    It's all about the %.

    example: a .07% difference in tire size = these speedometer values...

    55 = .07x55=3.85, so 55=58.85

    60 = .07x60=4.20, so 60=64.2

    65 = .07x65=4.55, so 65=69.55

    and so on...

    Haha, well I had to disassemble my gauges and needles to install intelli-glow needles, so last time I had the needles off, I had someone with a stock car drive 65mph next to me with cruise on and I matched their speed with cruise on and then I replaced the needle at 65 mph and then I had them speed up to 70 and then down to 60 and stayed with them and checked to make sure my speedo was close and done.

    I know it is not a perfect fix, but it is nice to know that at around 60-70 mph the speedo reads true :-)
