Altimeter

Hi All,
The altimeter on my 2014 L405 has an offset of about 200feet.

Is there any way to put that right? It's basically useless as it is.

Are they all like that?

IIRC it uses GPS & map data so depends upon the accuracy of that, there is no altimeter instrument as such, it's an indication, not a measurement. My L319 had a similar level of accuracy, I just used my Garmin for more accurate data - not that I really needed to know other than 'for curiosities sake'.

I can't believe that customers would have tolerated an instrument so useless when the vehicle was new!

But I haven't found a way to make it work properly.

It's not an instrument, it's an indicator. I don't think we ever had a complaint about it, even from the more rural users.
