Digital speed display incorrect

My car was recently updated to I-Step level F020-13-11-502 while at the dealers. I've since put back my coding settings, but I've noticed that the digital speed display (BC_DIGITAL_V) is 1 mph lower than the set speed when I activate cruise or the speed limiter (C_SLD_Funktion). E.G. if I set the cruise control to 70 mph the digital speed shows as 69mph.

I know it's a trivial thing, but they all used to show the same speed until this last update and it just bugs me.

Has anyone noticed this, and is there a setting that can be coded to adjust the calibration so that they show the same speed again?

There's a setting on E90 to change whether the digital speed display shows same speed as the speedo or actual speed, don't know if it's on F30 or not but worth a try. Here's the line from the E90 spreadsheet:

Digital Speed Value KOMBI BC_DIGITAL_V_KORREKTUR If set to nicht_aktiv, digital speed will give true car speed (not speedometer speed). If set to aktiv, digital speed will be same as speedometer.

I coded mine to show the actual speed versus same as speedo, but I am having the same issue as the OP... It didn't happen though until after I coded the correction..

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Strange that it's only started since the last dealer software update though.

I did think of mentioning it to the dealer as the car is going in on Monday anyway, but then I thought that I'm not supposed to have digital speed display so they'd probably refuse to even look at it
