This is for my 2013 GX 460, premium with navigation.
So in my search for recalibrating my speedo/odometer for my 34.9" O.D. tires, I can't find anything in our 150 series forum. Even in ClubLexus I can't really find anything difinitive.
I'm looking for a:
  • hack
  • add-on module (any products?)
  • going through the on-screen display
  • or??
My speedo is about 9.5 percent off. At 60 mph on the dial on the dash, my phone's GPS reads 65 mph.
 
I have been told you can have scan gauge display the correct speed based of new tire size. I have a SG but haven't played with that part of it yet.
Wouldn't just using a GPS app on my phone work and be the same thing? I have a great wireless charging mount for my Galaxy Note 8 that I could use.

But it would still be nice to have the O.D. be correct also. I re-geared my GX when I added the lockers and that didn't correct the speedo.
When I put 35" BFG M/T's on my 1998 Landcruiser, it was all wacked out also until I added the front locker and re-geared the front and rear diff's. Then at 70 mph on my speedo, my actual GPS speed was about 68 mph. I was able to live with that.
You can find photos of my LC on the 100 series forum, if interested. ;)

I wouldn't recommend this just for the speedo function, but the ARB Linx product includes a speedometer function. If you are looking for an all-in-one product for controlling lockers, accessories, and also correcting speedometer you might want to check it out. Home - ARB Linx - Vehicle Accessory Interface

Just checked out your link. Very cool!
Just checked out the price. Very expensive!

This is what you're looking for:

Universal Speedometer Signal Interface

I have used this successfully when I swapped in a chevy motor into my mazda. I had a friend drive my car while I was holding a GPS device while I programmed the unit with my speedometer. You will need to track down the speedo wire and splice into it.

This looks very promising!
But... I need a FSM that shows where all the wiring is. I don't want to be Willy-Nilly cutting and splicing wires and fry my computer or electrical. I'm a mechanical engineer and so I just get by with electrical.
I found one FSM but it is not really a "how-to" type of manual.
If anyone out there knows where to get a PDF of a thorough FSM, feel free to drop a link or post a copy!
