So the option is completely removed from your DIC? Do Euro spec Camaro's get the option for Navigation? If the European standard is that it must use a sensor on the mirror to read the signs then I can see why GM wouldn't go through the trouble of adding that feature for European deliveries. However if its not against standards, I don't see why they couldn't also have a European roadmap database that the Navigation unit could access unless its cost prohibitive having a European roadmap database for the few cars they sell.

As a side note its odd that the way you do it over there is to have a camera scan the sign. Lets say you got off a highway where the limit is 100 and now the road is a 60, but doesn't display a 60 until further ahead. Does the vehicle continue displaying 100 until it see's the 60?

I like the way the Camaro does it, minus the fact Canada's database is not updated so it doesn't work properly, it tells you the speed limit as soon as you get onto a new road instead of waiting until you come across the speed limit sign.
