So the people who have done it is fake? Also afaik that only applies for old stuff, while newer stuff (in reality it was probably already in the 90s) it was digitally done ish
According to @Levent no, at least not on newer cars. Anything pre 1990 will do it that way though one way or another. Not sure when it changed, but it will be post 1990.

If you got one from an old gear driven speedometer, it'd be easy depending on what you wanted to hook it to.
Older Toyotas went off the back of the transmission. Still doesn't account for tire size.
Sure. They’re measuring axle rotations which is to say, wheel rotations. It’s a convenient place to do it. They might all do it that way.

It was a joke, I knew it was possible all along, this instrument cluster I have should in theory be easy to wire up. One plug and also not too new / old
