Scangauge crazyness

I am trying to calibrate the scan gauge 2 in my renault clio. I try to set up the speed, but even when i go down the road at 10mph it says 158mph (the max) in the bottom left hand corner of the speed set up screen.So for example, i'm going 30mph so i adjust the offset so it says 30mph, but if i go slower than 30mph it doesn't update, so it says 30mph even if i'm going 10mph, but there comes a point where it will go slowly down, under 10mph!WEIRD.

It seems as if the ECU is sending a signal to the scangauge that its going 158mph at about 10mph!Anyone any ideas?im getting really frustrated with this thing now.I'm think maybe just play with the settings till i get about what MPG i'd expect from the car then just leave all the settings and then at least i can see if i'm improving my FE or getting worse.what a waste though

If it's diesel, there's a diesel a and b option. There's also a similar thing for gas engines. Toss in tire size issues, as well as units.

There could also be a problem internally with the scan gauge. Weirder things have happened in life.

BEEF will become famous soon enough
you will have better luck calling them than emailing them. they seem to stay busy since they are a small business and business is booming for them. they always seem to be willing to help though.
