I have my Professional Nav system TMC set to "ON" and station set to "TMC AUTO" but, in the entire week-and-a-bit that I have been driving the car now, it has failed to show up a single TMC message, even though the "TMC" indicator in my display is lit/active and I have been sitting in the same traffic which my E39 used to dutifully warn me of only 3 weeks ago.
Does anyone know if there is any other setting that I may have missed anywhere that is causing this?
Any users in the Netherlands having similar issues? My E39 was set to get messages from Sky Radio and did it perfectly. The E60 is just refusing to cooperate. And I have tried manually tuning it to Sky Radio, plus a couple of other stations before plumping for the "TMC AUTO" setting... all to no avail.
My understanding from other topics on this forum is that there used to be an issue depending on what version of the Nav DVD is being used, but that that was sorted out with a CIP upgrade sometime in late 2004. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
The car is going into BMW Den Haag next week for warranty work on a rattle coming out of my rear parcel shelf and I'm wondering if this TMC problem is something I need to get them to check out/fix too.

It sounds like you already have it set correctly, there are few settings.
