Help-It's Driving me Crazy

I am getting the "limit exceeded" message at 60 MPH. I have set the function to 100 MPH and selected the "activate" box, but it is still chiming every time I hit 60. Ideas? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Bump the speed that the alarm activates to about 160 mph,

that way you wont hit it "very often"...

MK

BTW, the highest it will let you set it at is 186 mph (don't ask me how I know).

you sure you moved it to set it? If not, swing by a Porsche shop, they can tell you 5 seconds. Or.... Or... take your negative battery terminal off for 5 mins and just reset the darn thing.

OK - I got it figured out. The PCM unit has an entirely different set of speed limiters built into the computer system that show on the Nav screen. You can set them to go off at three different speeds. It's accessed via the "trip" command button.
