Speed limit indications on Mk7.5 infotainment system

[Torch]

Good morning,

My car a January 2020 Mk 7.5 is always showing a speed limit of 60mph on a dual carriageway that has a speed limit of 70mph.
My September 2013 Mk 7 showed the speed limit at 70mph.


Does anyone have any thoughts on a resolution please? Or is a feature of the 7.5?

Regards

I've noticed mine does this too, and indicates 20 limits erroneously on a regular basis. It is off putting and distracting especially when there are cameras. You start to question yourself and slow down unnecessarily.

I know the system uses the forward facing camera to look for and read actual speed signs, and if non are available then it uses whatever is programmed into the current navigation maps data.

Long shot I know, but maybe the map data is out of date (or has some errors in it), and just needs an update ?

The one in my 2018 GTI seems to work perfectly ?

I don't think the Mk7.5 uses a camera for this feature as mine didn't have a front camera in the top of the windscreen so imagined it was done through map data?

It does if you have the traffic sign recognition option

Mine seems massively random and I just completely ignore it.....

In my camper van, where it is more difficult to see the speedo, I have just bought the Snooper Myspeed XL which shows your speed and the speed limit of the road you are on, based on GPS/mapping data.

It is far more accurate, but even so not 100% so.....

There doesn't seem to be any substitute for looking out like a hawk for the posted speed limit

*ahem* Waze.... works just fine, every time.

That sounds good. But I neither have it or access to it. I would prefer it if my car stopped giving me duff info. I will try and update the nav at some point and see if it helps but I doubt it since the issue is so widespread. Fingers crossed.

  As a new owner I assumed this feature is an optional extra, as I don't see it?  I just use Waze through AA/ACP? More up to date, reliable and interactive?

If you haven't got the camera based option, it's going to be using the nav data. Seeing as that only gets updated twice a year and will always be well behind road changes its never going to be great.
