Speed warning system

[Terry Allen]

Hi. Having only covered some 350 miles in IM5 am finding that the speed warning beeps/display are defaulting to 20mph at times even though travelling on 60/70mph roads with no side road entries/exits. Initially I thought that it was overly sensitive and picking up side road signs but have now proved that this is not the case. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Also does to IM5 have the facility to power the home using the car's batteries? There is a discharge tab on the screen.

Only seen the speed issue when it see another sign.

The IM6 has V2L so the IM5 probably does and the cable for the IM5 is for sale on the likes of MGTitan.

Just a heads up though regarding V2L. It's Vehicle to Load, not to Vehicle to Load so you can run appliances from the V2L adaptor/cable but definitely NOT to power the home. That requires phase matching and a common ground amongst other things!!

You are right, Terry.
We too have done about 300 miles. It seems to find it hard to differentiate between 30mph and 50mph. But even then it's a bit random.

True, but it has been done…..

Just realised - I should have said:
