Default How do you disable . . . . .

. . . . the "autonag" feature? Seems it is active in my C5 whenever my wife gets in the car. Doesn't seem to activate in my truck or her car.

Today, I took her for a ride. As we got onto the highway. "The speed limit is 55". I know. I've lived here 7 years. It has always been 55. "I just don't want you to get a ticket". I drive 65 on that road in my truck and her car with no warnings. I have a radar detector hard wired into the Vette, but not the other cars. A curve ahead, "Slow down. I'd enjoy riding with you more if you didn't drive fast". What's the point in have a high performance sports car?

Any reasonable tips would be appreciated.

Pie , no nagging, I'd be down!

Coz I can see your problem and I have a suggestion. You have 3 cars 2 of which don't have "autonag" The Vette is equipped. I suggest using the 2 cars for the "wife" and the "girlfriend" in the Vette. JK
PS. Don't let the Wife see this (Your's or mine)

I used to have a wife like that. It cost me everything I owned to get rid of her. It was worth every penny! David

Know what'cha mean - I have a similar problem.

I'm always hearing: "You should drive the vette more." "Can we go for a ride today?" "Drive faster!" "Open the cutouts!" "Are the cutouts open?" "Really - that was only 120?" "I love this car." "You haven't bought any mods in too long."

I got one of the good ones.

I'll tell you what I'd do Larry - go out and rent the DVD "Goldfinger" (my favorite Bond movie of all time, BTW) and when it gets to the part when our man James flicks the top of the gearshift, and engages the ejection seat and POOF! His passenger and half the roof is gone - pause the DVD and say with a big smile......"Honey - have I told you about my most recent mod?"





I think she'll get the point - she's smart (she married you and that shows brains and good taste), she'll understand the subtle hint. Good luck buddy and let me know how ya' do!

Do you suppose a C6 engineer had the same idea?
