Go to 20c.
20c - Vehicle speed in kph, updating only once per second. (real speed, not speed+safety margin as in the speedometer)

I haven't verified the speed with a GPS yet but it does read lower than the speedometer.
Yes, this works. It is actual speed in KPH, not MPH.

To convert KPH to MPH, you use the formula:

KPH / 1.609344 = MPH

But, this only works on cars through the 2000 model year only. These diagnostics cannot be accessed on later cars.
