Today for the first time I had the opportunity to try out the top speed of my US spec 2014 MDX FWD.
I had somewhat expected it to be limited to 132 MPH as this was also the case with my US spec Mercedes CLK550 which turned out to be limited to 132 MPH and then it clearly cut off, the automatic hunting between 6th and 7th gear. I heared this top speed limitation of 132 MPH to be common on US cars.
I had this changed in the ECU software to the here in Europe common 155 MPH max.
I was unpleasantly surprised to find out that my MDX maxed out at a much lower 112 MPH with the automatic hunting between 5th and 6th gear at that speed, so clearly also limited but why so low!!! :frown2:
Is this normal???
Anyone know if this limiter is changable in the ECU software like it could be done with the MB??
