Three times yesterday my dash starts beeping in about 1 second intervals. Beep - beep - beep and when the beeping starts the media center goes blank and a timer like a stop watch appears and starts counting up from 00:00:00. All three times were on the freeway between 65 - 75 mph. Two of the times, by coincidence?, there was a car pulled over by the police about a quarter mile ahead on the oncoming side. Never made it higher than about 8 seconds.
Any thoughts? 2009 DB9V

Sounds to me like the self destruct system has been engaged - were you randomly pressing buttons beforehand, but managed to turn it off before it got to 10 seconds again by randomly pressing more buttons? smile

75mph ! What a delight. We are not allowed that in UK.

What are your top limits?
There was once mention of 55mph, but perhaps that was during a fuel crisis.

Ah, the good ol' days. Loved the logic in that. If they had set it to 0mph we would have saved even more!
