I asked this same question a while back and was told no. I'm pretty sure this is the case, as I haven't found any way to disable it with my star system.

His mama. Traded y0 mama in because she was squeaking.
You have a problem with the speed limit? Well... alright. Just make sure you don't drive off the island.

You will need a developer SDS unit. Most dealerships do not have them. I don't know about Bahrain, but from what I understand, in the US only Factory reps have them. You could buy one from Becker (I think they are in Ohio...?).

Cliff notes. No, not possible to remove the speed limiter. But it is possible to increase it to a number your car will never be able to reach, so long as you have the correct Star Diagnosis unit.

An ECU tune will raise your VMAX speed to a number that you will never reach, effectively removing the 155mph speed governor.

When we tune these cars, we will remove the limiters on request.

You can do it with star or we can do it for you with a tune and add some additional horsepower as well!
