I have had idle go up to 2700 rpm, doors lock and unlock randomly, speedo just stop and then start again just to name a few.

We have had a couple of threads on how inaccurate speedos are and this "black box" data comes from accelerometers in the same way that "G-Techs" measure 0-400m (and we all know how accurate and reliable those are).
Please tell me how accurate they are I made several passes at heathcote and even used my iPhone on one of them and bugger me it was 2km/h off the trap speed ond 0.1 off the et. That's using a telephone not a dedicated tool
