It thinks you are a being deceptive. The miles on the odometer and BCU don't match. It thinks you might have tried to put a lower mileage odometer in it. You'll either have to have it synced with a VERY fancy computer, or you'll have to have the flashing turned off with a fancy computer.

Or just ignore the blinking. If it's like any other D2, the bulb for the back light will burn out eventually, so you'll only see it in the daytime.

Its not the speedometer that is flashing, it is the odometer.

You must take it to the dealer to have the BCU and the OD paired.

Some have reported flashing along with the units getting changed from miles to kilometers. Not sure if that would cause the blink or if whatever caused them to be unsynced also caused it to switch to km.

If you are seeing the wrong units, you could try switching it back and seeing if that fixes it. Not sure.
