Hello there,
Happy owner of a ND3… is there a way to disable the annoying chiming sound when exceedind speed limit? Seems in EU cannot be disabled but cannot believe nobody complained as even travelling at 71 where the limit is 70 it makes really hard to focus with the continous sound beeping…
Anyone that was able to find a solution?
Thanks,
M.
Isn’t there a button by the knee which can turn all audible ‘aids’ off? I think though that that also turns of stuff like rear cross traffic alert and blind spot monitoring as well though.
That ‘intelligent’ speed ‘assist’ is another factor to why I’m very hesitant in ‘upgrading’ my ND1
Sounds a nightmare.
Yes that button exists but like you said it turns every sound off… I hoped there is a better way to get rid of only the speed limit sounds…
Does it bong continuously- on the ND2 you get 4(?) bongs and then it’s “okay mate, if you get a ticket I told you so”!
I actually have it turned on for my car - on ND2 you can set off, +0, +5, +10mph. I find 5 is useful, especially as limits go up and down randomly on local roads, and allows for the slight overread of the car speedo vs GPS check.
As my (all?) ND2 came with effectively the ND1 manual who knows if the ND3 manual will tell you anything useful. I just hunted around in the menus on the infotainment screen!
With this stupid stuff, as well as other ‘safety’ stuff like lane kill assist and that braking one which slams on the anchors for little no reason, plus the electric car push, it’s little wonder private new cars sales are tanking. Who wants all that lol
Also, I wonder how they’ll get their speeding fine revenue, when ‘intelligent’ speed ‘assist’ stops drivers speeding
Makes you think though, if they’re that interested in safety, why is almost every new car now almost exclusively touch screen, with physical buttons disappearing, and also seems to have every bit of technology in them to make ‘remote’ mobile phone use easier. How the heck did people before manage to drive without an over-the-air convo of what to have for dinner, or worse, watching a cockapoo sing on ticktock.
The problem is when the limit is let’s say 70… and you are going something 71-70 all the time following other cars… so you get 3-4 bongs every time you go over 70… it is very annoying as it gets reset every time you go back to 69-70 and starts again at 71.
I need to try but the offset seems to apply only to a fixed value you need to set in the menu… I need to check better…
The worst thing about these systems is that they do not always recognize the correct limit, there is a road that runs from Pyecombe down to a roundabout at the base of Devil ■■■■ (Dike) (Cannot use the CORRECT spelling of this landmark the software blanks it out) the A281 60 mph limit if you turn left or right but 30mph straight on for Poynings both my 3 & my 5 detect the 30 at the roundabout and stay on that speed for about 3 miles within the 60 limit, so the button gets pushed on the 3, haven’t yet looked for one of the 5 but thankfully switches off all the other bongs and whistles that occur
On ND2 this is the screen you can adjust things in the settings (cog icon)
One of many weirdnesses of the Mazda Infotainment is that I can only get to this with the engine actually running, not just full ignition on!
Good luck!
And yes side roads and twenty is plenty stickers on bins easily confuse it! On the positive, when abroad it automatically converts to km eg on 130km/h road the Speedo display shows 81mph icon and bongs go accordingly, it doesn’t just assume 70mph=70 kph thankfully…
I confirm I don’t have that screen on my ND3. The only place I can customize a threshold is for the cruise control.
Good to know as I will shortly be hammering my down German Autobhans.
If you haven’t been on autobahns before, prepare to be scared! 2 lanes with a lorry pulling on at 30mph with a car coming in your mirror at well over 100 is …err… character building at the least!
Yes I’ve been on them a few times mostly on bikes though. Remember once doing 150 ish looking in my mirror to see a 911 Turbo parked on my a***.
The only relaxing drive I’ve really had on autobahns was as a student. No cars raced us, no mad overtaking or tailgating! It wasn’t till we looked at our hired transit later we realized it was the same green and white scheme as the Polizei!
I also have a ND3 and it looks like the only way of disabling the speed alert noise is to turn all the other alerts off (from the button panel where your stability control etc, next to the wheel). Unfortunately, that also turns off audio warnings for things like blindspot monitoring (which I definitely want on in the RF because I have no rear 3/4 visibility whatsoever). It’s really annoying, but I believe it’s mandated for all EU cars from 2024 and we tend to follow a lot of the same rules.
Only solution so far is put the roof down so I can’t hear anything instead
