Thanks for the intel and picture - Would it be possible to check what happens if you change the car settings to MPH? - I am hoping the number changes to 30 in that 50KPH road in your picture...

Nothing has changed in the subject. I am waiting for someone to upload a photo of the opened emulator.

Just to let you know. If you are in a garage you receive 3 small lines. Also after install it needs to adapt, so you will get 3 small lines. But after driving a couple of km's it changes to the indicated speed.

I bought one from China and it is in KM/h. Also if he doesn't have any speed info, i dont't get the 150km. Instead a 3 lines panel
I have a request, could you open the emulator and take an accurate picture inside?

Have you tried contacting the Aliexpress seller? Hopefully they would be able to send you a picture quicker...

It arrived about 45 minutes ago and is in and tested.
And it works. In MPH. On the cluster. And is P&P.

The one in the hud was bothersome at night so I turned it off on settings. Cool little toy/feature though.

Hi Guys,

I am in a peculiar situation looking for clues on how to resolve it.

I bought a chinese SLI emulator that displays speed in kmph. After installation, i did the coding and its working perfectly fine. Its able to show speed limits for 25, 45, 50, 55, 65, & 70mph perfectly fine.

After a couple of weeks I saw another SLI emulator from ebay seller which can display the speed sign in mph. Bought it and installed it. But the problem is that its stuck at 50mph and not able to display other speed limits. I drove on the same 45mph road where the old device is showing fine in kmph but the new won't display any speed. Its just stuck at 50mph.

Any idea what could be the issue ? I have removed the 8TH VO code and tested still nothing . Coded again still no issues.

Any clue will be helpful. Thank you.

Mine still works fine.

Ooh yes a lot of times. The seller sent a replacement device as well still the same issue. Allow me to explain the pattern i have noticed.

50mph speed limit road : SLI displays 50mph perfectly fine
70mph : displays speed fine

other than 50 and 70 it won't display any other speed sign.

If its an internal road and speed limit is not avilable, then it will diplay the last speed limit. for example i enter into local road from 70mph road, then it will continue to show 70.

for all other speed limits like 45, 55, 65 etc ... it will just display three dots without any square sign.

Not sure if its coding related or something else.

Strange. Maps up to date?
You said the China one Worked fine, but the Taiwan one is the one with the issue?
