On my gf's VU SS we just got, when the car is running, and you hit the mode button to cycle thru odom/trip/speed alert/DTE, when you get the the speed alert, the LCD just reads 'P Off' What does this mean? And how do I change it back to normal?
I tried a search but all I could find is threads about 'P Off' being in the 'hidden' menu that you can get in at start up that just means your parkers are off or whatever (and no the P off on our VU isnt 'parkers off' as it stays up on the LCD even with the parkers turned on) couldnt find anything about P Off being in the speed alert menu.

Nope tried the lights coz I remembered reading about the P Off in the hidden menu being parker, doesnt change it.
And nope no speed alert is set, it wont let you. I tried the up/down buttons usually used t select your required speed alert and it doesnt do anything. Still just says P Off.
Quite odd :S lol

The follow is taken from an article that 'Autospeed' did on the VT/VX hidden computer functions...

"The display that reads P OFF presumably isn't telling you 'where to go', but indicates that the "police mode" is not activated. We're told only a TECH2 tool can access this mode and its function is unknown."


It is what is called POLICE mode, I think it gives a PERMANET digital speedo in the odometer window when activated instead of the over speed alert. Needs Holden to activate it with their Tech2 tool.

Have a read... The bit about what 'P OFF' means is towards the bottom of the article.

EDIT:
After reading a few more articles on the LS1 forum, I am not sure if 'Autospeed' have the right info on what 'P OFF' means seems to be a few differing opinions.

I thought it ment your Speed Alert was turned off and all you had to do was hold or press and up or down or both arrows
