MG4 EV speed limit issue

[riskybiscuit]

Maybe go into settings and set things for Imperial then set back to Metric? (Or however they are described in the settings)

Thanks mate. I tried this but no joy i'm afraid. I rang the garage and they have advised that my software needs to be updated. Im due in this Thursday.

I’m talking about a cover on the driver screen

I’m borrowing one from work. If it fits, I’ll post a picture.

Pardon me if I'm totally wrong, but I thought you could simply turn off the speed notifications? (Speed Limit Mode in the (blurry) photo below)

You can - but it defaults to On next time you get in the car.

Ah, another of the NCAP cockups

Yup; it's one of the things I always turn off when I get in the car (along with LKA). It's just too unreliable to be useful.

I use Waze for all non-trivial journeys (other navigation apps are available), and that has reliable speed limit info on it.

Mine sometimes doesn't and I have to turn it on manually!

I sometimes think modern technology is gaslighting me...

@Yorkshire Hillbilly has put a label over the sign/symbol on the driver screen, not on the windscreen (if I've understood his post right).

Correct, I've used a circular shaped one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0CYCJ3S64
I can't stand any kind of lights at night, especially anything that blinks or flashes. I already had them in the house for the stand-by LED on the telly in the bedroom etc.

I variably use Waze, AmiGO or Google Maps ... all 3 offer speed limit indication and vehicle speed. (This is something fairly recent for GMaps - at least it does this on the phone screen; I don't have my own car to check via Android Auto, and AA in the Corsa courtesy car I have is utterly useless so I have to use the phone screen).

What is your experience with Corsa?

I gave up with mine and just stuck a black round sticker over the constantly flashing speed warning

I find that if I don’t go over the speed limit, the car doesn’t flash at me… quite handy really

The Speed Limit Mode stays off when you turn it off - I turned mine off half an hour after getting the car

I think you'll find that statement won't go down very well with anyone on a dual carriageway whose car has seen the 20mph speed limit on a services turnoff!!

You’re right, silly me! I was on the M6 last week and the dashboard was telling me that the limit was 30 for about 50 miles

No, no, silly me! I thought this discussion was about warnings on the dashboard being annoying because they were erroneous, not that people think they are mandatory to obey!

The thread is about speed (traffic) sign detection, not Speed Limit Mode.

It's an ICE car so it feels horrible. (Drove it for 5 hours or so last Friday ... 2.5 hours each way ... and it was really tiring compared a BEV). But as a car it's OK ... manual gear changes are sooooo last year though.

I was replying to Sloucher’s #22

It's hopeless on mine. MK has a LOT of 70mph dual carriageways and 60mph single carriageway roads - all marked as 'National Speed Limit.' The car has no idea what NSL means and shows 60 for the dual carriageways and anything from 30 to 50 for the single ones evidently depending on some random occurrence that I haven't discovered yet.
Other manufacturers manage to get his right 90% of the time, the MG is wrong 90% of the time.
