Why does the UG think I went 355 miles when I only did 195?

 

You have to calibrate the unit for your tires and gear ratio. Make sure to check the online manual to perform this. Basically you drive a known distance above 50 mph and then you plug in that distance once you're done. You can use mile markers or a GPS unit.

I use the tire calculator on here and input my stock tire size and new tire size, and whatever the percentage is for circumference is what I use.

I took how many miles my trip meter showed. Say 300. And multiplied by 1.079 to add in the difference in tire size. And then used that as my calculated true distance.


Calibrate Distance
MENU > Vehicle Setup .. > Calibration.. > Calibrate Distance
Use this menu item to calibrate all Distance Gauges. This calibration also directly affects the accuracy of all Speed, MPG and
DTE gauges. This calibration is especially necessary for vehicles which no longer have the stock wheels, tire sizes,
transmission, or rear-end differential. This calibration will also compensate for inaccuracies in stock speed sensor and the
vehicle’s distance measurement system. Perform this Calibration prior to all other calibrations.

**** Calibration cannot be performed unless a distance of at least 4 Kilometers or 2.5 miles have been driven. ****

To perform the distance calibration follow this procedure:
1. Align front tire with first mile marker
2. Reset the trip gauges: MENU > Gauge Menu > Zero All Trip
3. EXIT THE MENU
4. Travel to the 3rd mile marker (at 50+MPH), aligning the front tire to the mile marker
5. Select: Menu > Vehicle Setup > Calibration > Calibrate Distance
6. Change the value shown to 3.000 miles*, using the UP and DOWN keys
7. Press Menu to save and set the calibration
Once saved, the calibration factor will be displayed at the bottom of the display

 

Well here's what I did. Last time I filled up the tank, I reset the odometer. Then when I filled up tonight I took the 195 miles I got and set that in the UG. Also clicked the "full fill up" button as well. I have stock everything except my tires are 75 aspect ratio rather than 70. That shouldn't effect my readings by over 100 miles. I did the same process the tank before this last one

 

Did you input the size of your gas tank?

 

Sure did. When I click fill up it says 18.5 gals remaining

 

if they start another group buy. i would be interested.

Or For those that may have bought multiple units... if you have an extra one that you want to sell let me know as well.

Thanks

 

Another tank of gas passed and the UG thinks I drove 302 miles when I actually drove 173. I calibrated it last fill up. What am I doing wrong??? Please help!

 

I have one never opened with a mount if anyone is interested pm me

 

I will sell mine for 55 shipped no mount as it is stuck to my head unit and not sure if it will be useable when i pull it off but will send it to if wanted .

 

Mine is sold

 

Don't laugh - you may have already checked this but is it maybe measuring kilometres? 302 kilometres is pretty close to 173 miles. Maybe you either have it set for ams or it is doing it in error.

 

Haha, no. The KM it thought I drove was way more than 300

 

Can you post what the factor is set at in calibration screen?

Also what is your tire diameter?

anyone interested in starting another group buy? I'm sure there were a few people who missed the last one

 

I missed the last one.

 

I will sell you mine $50 plus shipping.

 

Interested in the group buy too if it happens again.
