Hi abs and welcome,

Did you pay the extra ?1,300 for the TMC option, over and above the cost of Sat Nav Pro?

Is this only available in Europe? I've never heard of it in the US.

Do you have the TMC icon at the bottom of the i-drive screen? If not you will have no TMC reception.

There is a known problem with the sensitivity on the TMC receiver.

To get around this, manuallly tune to Classic FM (TMC carrier in the UK). This will force the TMC on.? Afterwards you should be able to tune to whatever you want (or listen to another source).
