is that accurate or also intentionally fudged?

Every car I've owned, American, European, Japanese, overstate speed shown to the driver. My understanding is the car companies do that intentionally for a number of reasons.

First time on this particular post. I have always modified a number of my vehicles over the decades and when I saw you all posting about the "Techstream Mini-VCI" on this thread, it brought me back to when I had a USB VAG-COM for my 1998 VW Passat and 2008 Audi A5, which was used to mod all sorts of parameters and enable/disable some features. Thanks to you all for posting this device.

I bought my 2024 RAV4 XLE Prem. at the beginning of last month, and already installed rear hatch LED's, installed a quick-charge charging tray, the LED light above the charging tray, and adding WeatherTech everywhere ( front/ back seats mats, cargo liner and mud guards). This Techstream is very affordable and will put this on next years list to buy. I spent too much buying the RAV4 as it is and now doing Christmas shopping. But when I do buy it, I think the "Windows - all up/down" will be my first project.

Right, l understand that. But you missed my main question: if the speedometer is off, does that mean that the odometer is also similarly off?

Considering your original title and post I hope stereo settings are within your scope. I previously posted these for an XSE Premium Audio configuration:

R4P Premium Audio sound settings discoveries

Respect to @q445187 for sharing their audio settings with me, they were foundational to where I ended up. Note - I have an XSE with Premium Audio so its specs and performance are of course different than standard audio (6 vs 11 speakers, etc.). Don't get me started on whether or not there are...

Guys, so whats the verdict? Can we adjust the odo or speedo? I want to fit different tires but want to keep my odo accurate. Been doing this for years with Ford, but Toyota seems difficult.
