I bought one with my new cart, 3 years ago. The cable has since broken, so I don't have one anymore. Frankly, I don't miss it.
When it was functional I downloaded a free app for the iPhone, which is essentially a speedometer, using GPS. I downloaded it on a whim, just to verify the accuracy of the cable fed speedometer. They agreed exactly.

So, now, with a broken cable, if I really want to know how fast I'm going, I can just use the iPhone app. I don't use it much, because I know my top speed is 23mph, downhill, with the wind at my back, and I seldom travel that fast, so I really see no need for it.

I wouldn't spend the money on the speedometer if I were buying a new cart today.
