NeilRS Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Lousy photo but for the first time I had the top circle populated on the dash- no over taking sign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienburt Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Am using the car in France at the mo and when driving on the motorways the bottom indicator shows the speed limit (130kph) and the top shows 110 kph with the word 'rain' under it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike's living on the Edge Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 "110kph with the word rain".. that's quite cool. I vaguely remember the French having lower speed limits for when it rains on the dual carriageways. The car knows more about driving in France than I do! Was it raining?

Was it raining? ... and did you try the auto speed limiter, and which speed did it use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienburt Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Unfortunately forgot to try the limiter - could be interesting - will do next time it rains. Yep it's still 130kph limit in normal weather and 110kph for rain on french motorways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike's living on the Edge Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Alienburt, did the car recognise it was raining and advise 110kph or did it just play safe and give you the lower limit without checking to the weather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienburt Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 It seemed to happen when the sensors detected rain and the wipers started. Though it could have been a coincidence and 'read' a motorway speed advisory sign at the same time. I'd like to think it was the former though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone tell me how to get the speed in the middle of the dash? - I’ve been through all the options and can only get a compass or sat nav instructions. Cheers.

KugaEdge Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Is yours a Sync 2 car I.e. an early one? Speed display in centre is only available on Sync 3 cars I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess from what you say, I must have Sync 2. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilRS Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Your should have sync 3 on a 67 plate- I’ve got it in a17 plate. Right hand cursor button on the steering wheel gives you navigation,entertainment and speed options to display. And phone I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonb65 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 67 Plate with Sync2 !!! That is some very old stock. When was the build date of your car? ETIS will tell you that from the VIN. They changed to Sync3 during the builds in Aug 2016. I do hope you got a good deal and major discount on that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yetiman65 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Sync 2 isn't that bad unless you want the digital speedo - updating maps is just a case of buying the latest F7 card from eBay :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An F7 card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen1988 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Turn the lane keeping aid off on the end of the indicator stalk and see if you get the digital speedo in the right instrument cluster close to where the lane keeping aid lines are now. On my first Edge with Sync 2 it displayed on that screen although that car was manual not auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the F7 card from eBay late last year as my Aug 2016 Edge (Sync 2) had a F6 card in it when I bought it in March 2017, cost around £40, we’ll see if an F8 version ever materialises 🤓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
