By the way, 'speedo' NEVER = 'tableau de bord'! the speedo may of course be one of the instruments usually mounted on/in the dashboard, but even stretching metonymy to its limits, it wouldn't be used to refer to it in that way; all the more so, because a dashboard per se doesn't have a (mechanical drive) cable — though of course there may be a great many cables going to it of various types!
