Yeah, only happens at low speed, if something gets close to the sensors

I get the parking sensors go off too... next to buses but they're a good 2 meters away...

I think it's WIND or Dust or comb of both.... And also I get a delay sensor reaction when Motorbikes wiz past!

I was a tad bored

Whats the average speed of those? I get similar figures, however my average speed is in the 30's

I think around 60km i have to double check. I travel 45km to get to work and it takes me just under an hour. I mostly deal with 60-80km speed zones.

EDIT: Long Term avg, speed: 45km, distance: 8912km, consumption: 7.4L according to the trip computer

Yeah that makes sense. I've done half a tank of that sort of driving and mine dropped into the mid 5s.

I haven't RTFM yet but wanted to know if someone can advise what file formats need to be on an SD card to read. I loaded a few audio books on to a new 8Gb SD card and it won't read the files.

I've the Columbus System ... Takes MP3, wma, asf, AAC, flac, wav & ogg .. Using a 32Gb SDHC card & all work well. Can remember reading somewhere that Columbus reads more types than Amundsen etc but not 100% sure

I found they go off near median strips and gutters when going slow.

BTW be careful of your ACC when cars are merging on the highway. Won't slow you down until the car is in front of you of course so you need to accelerate or brake to turn it off or hope the other guy simply adjusts his position quickly.
