    If you go into the settings for the navigation there is an option to calibrate your speedo using the GPS. It literally just says calibrate.

    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    i get 15 with 285/70/17 stt pros and almost 1000lbs of armor and tent

    That only helps with location during navigation. It does nothing with your speedometer and odometer

    There is a specific one to click on. It worked on mine and it is spot on now. Never did any other calibration. Double checked it with roadsigns and had a cop Radar gun me to make sure I wasn't speeding. It will work.

    Did you check your speedometer beforehand? The only way that would work is if you speedometer and odometer were off a good bit to begin with. Both of mine read about 2% low with stock 265/75R16. People wouldn't be spending over $200 for a hypertech calibrator if it could be done through the head unit.

    Definitely. If I change tires, I'll just recalibrate my ultra-gauge by driving a known distance and call it a day.
