Why do you need it??

It wouldn't be too hard to DIY it. Referencing the 99/00 GC8 wiring diagram the speedo (single wire) signal splits at the ECU in the passenger footwell (ECU must still see the unaltered signal btw).

Calibrate it with a decent GPS.

Adding either a + or - percentile correction to the speedo transducers output via the DRD.

its out about 6 kms had 18''s on the car when i got it and it was doing it then now has 17''s and still the same + getting flashed too often when im not paying attention and forget about it, also the car has a link would that change the location of the speedo (single wire) from where it is from the stock ecu or would it be wired up in that same area, the link is in the glovebox

I'm on 17's and my speedo is 10% out (I.e an indicated 100kph on the speedo is actually 91 kph by gps).

Your speedo should never indicate a lower - than actual - speed, if it is there is something wrong with your dash cluster or something else (like diff ratios) have been changed.

The speedo wiring will still be in situ as per factory with your ecu, the original signal wire for the oem ecu just won't be being used.

Agree with Rossco ... Something not quite right.
