Sounds like you need a software update. I have a 53 plate 530dA with business nav and from memory TMC function was added with one of the early software updates
But... the OP's (creja02's) TMC WORKS.

BTW the TMC codes for each territory are stored on the Nav disc. Knowing the vintage of the nav data may help.

Welcome creja02 to the Forum

Just for curiousity, could you please explain your plate system?

You wrote that you have "a 53-plate".

I know it has something to do with your UK cars MY's???

So you thought olli-535d's explanation inadequate?

And he worked so hard on it!

TMC is available in France for all highways and major cities (including downtown avenues) and reliable. It's broadcasted through various RDS stations and free.
When I first got my 2005 car (Feb 05) with CIP 16 and DVD NAV 2005-1 TMC did not work even though set to AUTO. I did a software upgrade earlier this year to CIP 19 and DVD NAV 2006-1 (Sat Nav Pro) and now everything works fine. I also think each DVD brings new TMC location codes (for example with 2006-2 I even got more TMC information for Paris downtown).
Hope this helps.

It's so much easier to get a sensible dialogue going... (but possibly failing to make a point...)
