I just noticed it a couple days ago. Guessed it was “looking for” a speed sign to picture in that space.

Almost 1,000 miles in on my new truck and I finally got my bubble. I forgot to ask the dealer today about it, so missed opportunity. But, so psyched to be part of the club now! You could say I'm bubbling with excitement!

Has anyone tried turning off connected services/modem? Maybe it’s some kind of notification that it’s syncing usage data or the modem connecting ? Just grasping at straws because mine started showing up the other day

That could be it. syncing to the Navigation system, maybe?

It certainly doesn't stay on long. I wonder if it moves from truck to truck. :unsure:

If you are 4-wheeling way out in the boonies, will it ever find you?:oops:

Add me to the bubble club. Always wondered what it was for. Like others have said, it is there shortly at start up and goes away.

Anyone ever hear what this is exactly?

It’s a 4th dimension portal. Next time you see it, accelerate to 120 mph to transition to the next level.

So it’s either GPS map based or a reception issue. I get it every time I start my truck at my kid’s karate school. It’s in a strip mall a bit off the main roads and I think it is trying to find the speed limit based on location and it’s a place holder while it is thinking/trying to acquire the data. I haven’t seen it anywhere else for me.

That won't work for mine. Rumor has it mine is governed at 106.

Not that I know this for certain. ?

On a completely unrelated matter I think I may have wrecked my average MPG. ?

Yeah, I was shocked to find that my '17 F-350 diesel is governed at 99. Shocked.
