is there any way at all to stop it going off? I dont need the car to tell me that I am potentially exceeding the recomended speed for a given road...

Maybe with Tech II you could but apart from that you can only set it at maximum, 130mph I think

If its anything like the HSV access your computer by the steering wheel, go thru modes until you find overspeed setting, increase / decrease using up-down arrows. I think

no, it is 130/135 I can't remember which.

Well, it is on the 6.0 VXR anyway

Mine is either off, or set to 100

i'll double check, when i flick through normal driving menu (on the move) I can change it from 25 to 75mph

I remember a setting in the main options menu but cannot recall the speeds, will look though. It would be worth upgrading to the 6.0vxr if only to get rid of the bloody thing. Who in their right mind thought it was a good idea to put into a car?

I'm sure you can turn it to OFF setting, as mine hasn't beeped at me in a few weeks now laugh

Mine is set to 100mph which is handy for reminding you when you are entering license losing territory.

Just checked there now, I'm currently set to OFF, not sure how I did it though - think it's basically take it to it's lowest setting speedwise and then go one step further, if not that try hitting both up and down together - it's something along those lines...

You should be able to turn it off using menu available when hitting "Mode" immediately after turning the ignition on

Mine too, and exactly for the same reason. On the other hand they've got to catch you first hehe

well I looked via the in car menu thing and no setting for overspeed. Underspeed yes, no overspeed warnings. The only way I can set it is via the normal 4 settings when driving

25, 35, 55 and 75mph

help!

That is really strange, mine is in increments of either 5mph or 10mph, I can't remember which and as I am several miles away from my car I cannot check.

All I do is click on "mode" until the Overspeed shows in the bottom left hand display then the up and down arrows change it.
