Fixing Inaccurate Zeekr 7X Speedometer: A Simple Solution

So I’ve had my Zeekr 7X for over a month now and one of the many things I loved about it was that the speedometer was perfectly accurate. If I was doing 110 km/h then Waze would also perfectly report I was doing 110 km/h.

This all changed one day when the speedo suddenly started showing me doing 2km/h less than the speed limit, and I let it get to me way more than I should have. After having the perfectly accurate speedo, it felt like a massive downgrade to have the car suddenly be purposefully inaccurate.

So how did I fix it? Well..
It was an extremely easy fix, but to start with the background, I did mention I normally use Waze maps when in my car. It seems that if you don’t activate the GPS mapping system built into the car, it goes into a sleep mode and does not activate. I assume this is to conserve data and power by not running services that aren’t being used.

So all I did to fix it was open the built in navigation software, after doing this my speedo was suddenly accurate again! I’m not sure how long this lasts, but I will update this post if it ever reverts back to reading 2 km/h under again.

I’m a South Australian tech-obsessed tinkerer who lives for the sweet spot where performance meets innovation. If it can be optimised, automated, or pushed to its limit, I’m probably already working on it, whether that’s tweaking my PC for peak gaming, re-architecting my smart home networks, or diving deep into the next generation of electric vehicle tech.

My world is a constant project, shifting from complex home lighting systems to whatever else needs a custom touch. But when I’m not lost in the code or the hardware, you’ll find me off the grid, hanging out with my Maremma Sheepdog, Walter.
