Hello all,

My 07' 550 was built in September of 06 and was the first lot to arrive with RTTI. I just got the V.25 update (very nice indeed) and discovered that the RTTI was definitely not working correctly prior to the update. In the last 6 months the car has never once announced or communicated that "a traffic situation is affecting my route" nor given me a chance to go around it. It did provide all the information about the traffic delays, but it apparently did not communicate that info. to the nav. computer. It was in essence, for display purposes only. Now it works as it should.

So if your feel your RTTI is too silent, I'd request the update.

Happy motoring,
DRP

My RTTI has always annonced traffic delays on my programmed route. I don't use Dynamic Routing so I have to choose the detour manually. Could it be that you had your setting on Dynamic Routing and it was taking you around the delays automatically without announcing it.

By the way, did you have v. 24.0 before the update? What differences other than the RTTI are you seeing? I'm going in for the update to v.25.0 on Monday.
