When I start the car, before I starting driving, the speedometer needle is exactly on the zero indicator (as it should be)
Once I start driving and then come to a complete stop, the needle stays a little above the zero indicator. Anybody else seen this?
Doesn't matter if I am in "D", "DS", or Manual mode.
Sorry don't have pics of this as yet, I tried with my Moto V600 but the image was not clear. Will try and post a pic soon.
No software updates.

If you divide the speed you are traveling by 2 you get a whole number which is also divisible by 2. Therefore you never really reach Zero.

[/quote]My guess is that there is an error in the divisor such the that the resulting quotient is an infinitely repeating decimal fraction.

[/quote]Ahahahah...ok now let's be serious 0 is 0, like stopped, and that's what the needle should point! That statement (VTbound) (no offense) had nothing to do with anything (maths, cars, logic or anything).
