Navigation Pad Centre Console Help

For the question about the speed limit, page 108 of your manual, most importantly "The function is normally deactivated (OFF):"

Speed limit setting and “Speed limit exceeded” message

The MENU screen page can be used to set a speed limit in the range 30 - 250 km/h (17 - 155 mph) with 5 km/h (3 mph) steps which sends a message to the driver when exceeded. To set the speed limit, call up the MENU screen page by pressing the UP button when the MAIN screen page is activated.

Select “Car setup” and “Speed limit”. To set the value, use the UP and DOWN buttons. When the minimum limit of 30 km/h (17 mph) is reached, press the DOWN button again to deactivate the function or press the UP button after reaching the maximum speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). The function is normally deactivated (OFF). When the set limit is exceeded, the driver is informed in the following way: The symbol showing the set limit and a “Speed limit exceeded” message appear in the top right of the display for 10 seconds accompanied by an acoustic signal. Once the warning cycle has ended, the message disappears whereas the symbol continues to be displayed next to the outside temperature until the speed decreases to 5 km/h (3 mph) below the set limit

I am not familiar with a TrackPad/Touchpad interface to the infotainment system from factory. It sounds exactly like an "upgrade" that Ferrari offered a few years back that replaced the system, but probably did all the audio via an FM transmitter. I don't remember the exact details, but it is discussed here: https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/new-458-infotaiment-system-upgrade.601911/. I don't think anyone liked it and I don't think it is offered any more.

And we need pictures,

i read through the thread I posted above and it sounds like you have the "Adaptiv" upgrade that Ferrari briefly offered for the 458 (not factory). It did not end well. If you look specifically at
https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/new-458-infotaiment-system-upgrade.601911/page-4#post-146786230 you can see pictures to compare to your system. If you look at https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/new-458-infotaiment-system-upgrade.601911/page-6#post-146993484 there is possibly a way to turn the "upgrade" off and just use the normal system (which has many complaints of its own).

Please update with pictures of the system and car. I was interested in the audio upgrade when I first heard about it, but all the feedback was very negative. I'm guessing the original system is setting the speed limit and giving you bad navigation systems, but you are accessing the "upgraded" system that does not control those functions.

Best of luck,

Rob
