Maybe it can be changed in fw and/or jcv file. Too big for me, i'm not the wizard you think i'm just a 'joe plod' with a lot of general knowledge. Maybe a Navigation Software Expert like Loly can comment.
2. Similarly, since the unit knows and displays the Speed Limit and the Actual Speed, when the latter exceeds the former the display of the Actual does turn RED but again if not studying the screen this will often be missed - so could it a "BING-BING-BING" be activated or "modded" to sound whenever ACTUAL exceeds LIMIT? The old 2008 S50 Navman used to do something like that. Where I now live in Queensland, the law has recently changed and the Police are warning they will nab drivers for ANY kph over the LIMIT. A warning sound would be a REAL help here.
This is possible with some later models, 3597 for instance, where it's Locale dependent, eg UK and other EU locales have an additional option with check box for 'Audible Speed Alerts' in the Map & Vehicle settings. But not for 1xxx sorry. Again maybe an NSE would care to comment if it can be modded in fw but i don't think so. My solution for new low tolerance in Qld is use cruise control as much as possible, but i guess your Accord maybe doesn't have have it either. On the subject of the speed indicated by the vehicle and that indicated by the GPS: Driving in the States i've found that their speedometers are generally correct compared to the GPS calculated speed. Our AU speedos seem to be set to read ~10% over in every car i've driven here lately, so worth checking your accord against the 1300. Pressing the speed zone on the Map screen will bring up a bigger digital read-out for speed and lots of other historical data.

I'll move/copy & edit some posts to a new thread about the 13xx BT soon.
