Ive been reading my handbook and spotted the 'Speed Limit' info on page 71.So I looked in the I drive for it but its not there!
When I mentioned it to my local dealer today he said it was not fitted to all cars.
My car does'nt have nav fitted but the handbook says 'on cars without navigation system:call up OBC' ect.... No mention of it being an option.
Do any others with similar cars have this feature?
Car is RHD UK spec 525d Touring Auto
Built May 2004

Why on earth would you want to limit your speed!!! 
There are some fantastic roads up north where you are, and one can see the cameras coming for ages....
Though thinking about it, if your handbook says you have "it" and you can't find "it", I'd be a little miffed as well.
BTW, no idea how to rectify your actual question!!
Good luck.

On mine it's in the nav, under Bordinfo.
It should be there even without nav. You should have a position "on board info" in your computer somewhere...

Can't speak for earlier cars though as I have never owned one.

Uh, ya. No kidding. Am familiar with the audible warning that tells you when you're having fun!

Point taken - must admit I misread the intention of your previous Post!
It saves me from driving slightly too fast without knowing it.

+1-the stupid thing just dings if you set it-already enough other dings and sound I already do not care to hear or do not know how to shut off-including the seat belt, my cell phone ringing etc. The beep does NOTHING to deter me when my foot gets heavy
