speedo recalibration?

Yeah, time for a speedo recalibration.
I suffer a similar problem, insomuch as my speedometer is out by around 9 km/h (it reads 120 km/h when in fact I'm doing 111 km/h). I know this to be true, as I've driven past several 'speed check' mobile trailers, also compared my speedo with the GPS reading on my radar/laser detector, as well as paced my vehicle with a friend's car that has a 'certified' accurate speedo (ex-police car).
So my question is: how do you recalibrate the speedo in our cars so they read more accurately?
And - yes, I have correct tyre sizes, all wheels are stock, so rolling diameters have not been changed.
I also own a VW Golf TDi that suffers the same affliction - speedo out by more than 10 km/h but I'm led to believe you can recalibrate the speedo by means of the OBD2 port and a tool. Can you do this with the E53 too?
