I also remember there was the ability to set 3 or 4 DIFFERENT speed warnings using this method.

Turns out there are 2 ways to set the speed limit "bonger".

This one appears to be an additional one to the one in the menu settings, (which can be set wherever you want, or deactivated).

There's an option to turn it off in the dash menu system using the lower left stalk on the steering wheel.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just bought a Boxster S - my first one - and absolutely loving it................apart from the annoying Speed Limit Warning that "Bongs" at 75mph. This one appears to be an additional one to the one in the menu settings, (which can be set wherever you want, or deactivated). Is it anything to do with the activation of the rear spoiler, which raises at the same speed, and is it possible to switch the blooming thing off? Or can this only be done at a Specialist or Main dealer? Please help this Boxster virgin!!
Stop breaking the speed limit. Simples.
(The above is a joke. If you cannot turn it off, the OPC will be able to and should do so for free unless they have some insane warranty objection.)

Hi Decoy. Unfortunately it cant be switched off through the menu system. Have referred the matter to a Porsche specialist who tells me that they can deactivate it if i take the car in. Will be trying that
I'm sure you can if you have the OBC ? I can remember it from my old 986.
I found it documented here, assume it works whether you have PCM of not (although i used to do it via the PCM method)?
I also remember there was the ability to set 3 or 4 DIFFERENT speed warnings using this method.

Hi to all who commented and offered assistance. Turns out there are 2 ways to set the speed limit "bonger". First one is with the steering wheel stalk which has a number of menu items that can be accessed (and was the one I had tried to deactivate). The second one is through the "Trip" buton on the Dash. According to the specialist I took the car to, these 2 different entry/deletion options work independently of each other, so its possible to have settings via the stalk, and separate settings via the dash button. I had deactivated the ones via the stalk, but (cos I didnt know it existed!) hadnt deactivated the ones in the dash setting. Cant see the logic in having the 2 systems, but have at least solved the annoying problem. Big thanks to Tony at Porschtek in Leeds for that one!

It's for Motorway use. The first bong at 70 tells you that you are going to slow. The second set at 140 tells you that you are having fun.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
