Simplistically - if the TMC system worked in the USA, it would already be included with the nav.

Assuming the TMC won't work in the USA (for that reason) then it follows that the USA spec won't work in Europe.

Why would they include a "useless" (in USA) TMC decoder in a US model?
I remember saying that...

According to this site, it looks like the Total Traffic Network uses the following frequencies:
Frequency: 450.21250, Input: 455.21250, Tone: 103.5 PL
That's in the UHF band but I wonder why the digital squelch. This might explain why it's not something that would be easy to retrofit into early 2007MY vehicles. I'll have to program a radio onto that freq and see if I hear anything.
