Electronic speedo

Anyone know what is involved in fitting an electronic speedo in place of a cable driven one! I have heard you can buy an adapter for the gearbox

Supplement the car speedo with a GPS SPEEDO. Gives the car speed but not distance covered. Just plug into cig lighter and place unit on dashboard.

gutterbug what they mean is they don't know.

It depends entirely on what vehicle you have and what you are looking at fitting. I'd suggest you find a forum for your specific vehicle, you'll get more specific and less judgemental help.

Dakota Digital. Have a look at their site. I imported a set of their gauges a few years back.

I put a electronic speedo in my vl commodore when i installed a t56 gearbox.Im using a speco electronic speedo.VDO,autometer also make them.You can also use a Cable-X Box that converts the electronic signal to a gear driven cable.

I have one in my sports car and it had an adapter that screwed on to the gear box and had a cable to go to the speedo head which needed power and an earth wire attached + lighting wire . It is full adjustable so put your car on a rolling bed and get it set right .
Got it from Frazer Cars Auckland but I believe parrots in Chch have them also
