Practically every modern mass produced vehicle has a CAN Bus and it is
through this that a skilled person takes about 1/2 minute to clock the
speedo. Service diagnostic machines plug into this also to diagnose engine
tuning problems etc.

Not necessarily, see my previous comment, the activity is done using a small
handpiece that plugs into the bus.
