I am not seeing traffic indicted on my nav. Mine, is a 2005 e60. However, I know that newer models do show the traffic. Is mine too old, do I need to activate something or what. Please shed some light on this for me.

i get little triangles for traffic, do u get these?

I believe the real time traffic alert option was not available until 3rd quarter 2006 builds for a MY2007 cars.

So your 2005 doesn't have this feature.

2008+ for traffic

I don't recall the exact date that RTTI (real-time traffic information) was added but clearly is was after 2005...

Thanks, guys. I figured that was probably the story, but now I know.

mine has TMC, isnt that traffic alerts too?, i get traffic warnings when i use my nav

+1 and I also get the red traffic triangles.

If TMC has been available on European E60s since 03 why is the US equivalent only available on 2007 and later 5 Series produced after September 2006? It uses the same RDS-TMC channel to provide data. Are US spec GPS receivers not equipped with the required FM receivers?

Could this be a software upgrade?
