The right side is Odo/Trip A and Trip B.I do not think the Luxo pack dash "looks" different, it just has different features.I have the police pack on mine so I have no trip computers on the right, only the word POLICE when I start and the a P with the speed in km/h <{POST_SNAPBACK}>How'd you manage to get that?

Even without my specs on I can see it why can't you???

They had never heard of this option, but I said its on the WDS and just turn it on. The only bummer is I cannot see any Trip distances, and I can only see the ODO when the car is off.Its good to measure your km/h accuratly. Doing 110km/h on the police pack is about 115km/h on the speedo. I wanna make sure I know exactly my speed.

I wanna make sure I know exactly my speed.Speking of WDS, is their a setting for 17 inch or 18 inch wheels to compensate for OD and make the speedo read correctly? Are the 17s and 18s different OD sizes? Reason I ask is my car has always read fairly high (higher than my old BA XR6), I have just found out my car was built with 18s (dealer must have sold them whilst it was in the showroom before I purchased it ) and now has the 17s....

UNLESS you have had your police speedo calibrated it is not any more accurate than your normal speedo. It just gives a digital readout is all, which takes away the parrallax errors (and time) in reading an analogue instrument. Just because it is 5kph different to your speedo doesn't necessarily make it the correct reading - it could be in error and the speedo could be showing correctly. Once it is calibrated then you'll know. Your handbook explains how to do the calibration if I remember correctly.

I believe they are factory calibrated and only the mechanical needle is inaccurate, this is why they have digital readouts. It reads in 1km/h increments and seems to be accurate Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/14170-instrument-cluster-4-lux-pack/page/3/#findComment-191745 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how the speed is calculated on the BA’s, I assumed it was off the ABS sensors, so wouldn’t the digital readout be the “more” accurate of the two?Trent.
