Not sure which model years this applies to, but on early models you can use the diagnostic settings on the HVAC display to accurate speeds in KPH. Yes, you can also find that little tidbit here on the forum. Enjoy!

I have a 98 and reading in the owners manual where I know can change from mph to kph. It's not on the hvac, but one of the instrument cluster knobs, the right one (I think). Are you saying that it is more accurate in the kph mode or I can adjust it somehow? Sorry, I'm a newbie (10 day Porsche owner actually) :dance: maybe there is some hvac diagnostic to compaer to, but I've only read thru the first 1/3 of the owners manual.
