What is a TMC? In the US, this is the The Movie Channel.

if you tune TMC specifically to "Classic FM" from the TMC setup screen this does not affect what station you actually have to listen to....guess you know that but just thought i'd mention it in case

It doesn't work though. The next time you go back to the screen it's back on AUTO - probably because when TMC is out of signal range Classic FM disappears from the TMC stations list (although it will still likely be in the FM stations list).

This shows that the list os not a static one, but is showing the stations available at that precise time.

I suppose what would help is if another national radio station would also carry the signal. What the situation in Europe folks? Do you have more than one station carrying TMC?

Shame this, because v12.x was great for TMC reception.

It is data transmitted with the radio signal from the radio stations, providing traffic infos your nav system can read.
You can actually enter the list and see all available traffic jams and other traffic problems/announcement and how far they are away from your actual position.

I have this happening on mine with 13.3 (in fact this is the only problem that has arisen in this release)/ I find if i tune to Classic the TMC comes up and then go back to another enetrtainment source and it stays.

Traffic Message Channel



steve545: Sounds defintely like a v13 issue then. We should all put pressure on the dealers to sort it. v12 was perfect for TMC.
