The manual refers to the speed alarm but it's not in the menus of my 2008 CL9 Nav Sat model. There are just 4 settings that can be changed. Speaking of which i can't find any speed alert settings in the GPS (Sat Nav) either. Anyone know?

Yep, i have had a very bad run with a string of new cars and it seems the Honda is no different. 300kms on the clock and it goes back tommorow, i just keep finding things. Wouldn't be so bad if the dealers didn't "boast" how well built Honda's are as my car is proof that they are no different to Ford or Holden.

In the case of the Aurion, after making an incredible amount of noise Toyota did the right thing and ended my 10 month misery but details on what they offered is confidential. I was extremely happy with the outcome.

I have the 2006 CL9 Sat Nav model and there are no speed alarms, in fact none in any of the CL9 Oz models, as has been discussed before.
Apparently the new CU2 (Sat Nav model only) does seem to have a speed alarm according to some of the new owners but havent heard anything more than that nor how many setting sor how it works.

This is the work of a brain dead moron at Honda that makes no mention in the Vehicle Handbook that the Speed Alert is an option. It freely discusses this feature and makes no mention as to if this feature is country specific. Bloody morons.

I will have a play around with mine tomorrow and see if CU2 has speed alarm, if the missus doesn't drive it to work. Haven't heard of sat nav only...

CU2 does have a speed alarm, only just had mine delivered today but a very trusty reliable source informs me it's there,it is set up through the trip computer. I will get more details.

lol no it seems like some sort of Russian roulette that Honda Australia plays. They seem to skimp on seemingly inexpensive things and often it doesnt make any sense at all, as per my pet topic of the missing integrated bluetooth. And some things are a big surprise as possibly the speed alarm is.. like we wont even mention we put that in...!!
Some boffin sits at Honda Australia with a big fuzzy dice and plays " Lets Build an Import Version"....what stays in and what is taken out of the OZ version of the car..

I think the beginning of the manual states that not all features are available in the model of your region.

all CU2 euros have speed alarms MAN OR AUTO, when u pick it up from the dealer ask him how to set it, alot of dealers dont know how to still , they just havnt been shown.

CL9s DONT have speed alarms
