EDGE wont recalibrate my speedo. Am I doing it right?
So I just installed my 35x12.50x17 BFG KM2's and I went to recalibrate my speedometer and when I check it against my AVIC-Z2 it's off by 7mph at 70. My speedo and edge say 63 and my GPS says 70, so 10% error. I've tried multiple settings and none do anything. I have even set it up to like 3000mm and it still reads under. Am I doing it correctly?

Like Jack said, check the gear ratio. Also make sure you are saving your changes, not backing out with the menu button. You said none of the settings seem to make a difference so it sounds like you either aren't saving your changes or you are doing it correctly and the programmer isn't saving them.

I'm not taking any credit unless that turns out to be the problem Jack. It is easy to overlook the easy stuff (don't ask me how I know) so that's usually the best place to start. It's been awhile since I've messed with the the tire settings in my Edge but I think the save procedure is different than some of the other functions which can be a little confusing.

It's been noted though, in several posts, that if your Edge speed is dead accurate, the dashboard speed will be about 2 mph faster in the 70 mph range. The odometer will be accurate here though. Why is the dash speedo fast? Because Ford designed it that way.
