Does the TMC work from the RDS TP then?!?

The TMC Still works even thought the TP is usually off on my car.

I thought it came from another source.

The system is fantastic IMHO. Very accurate.

Just wish the sat nav perspective screen could show true weather conditions and day or night i.e. moon and stars. Can't be that difficult! Can it?

AlanM, how do you find the hi-fi speakers - there only appear to be comments from L7 listeners on here

No. The two are separate systems, although you do need to enable the TMC (of course ). There are occasions when (just after starting the car) the TMC manual info screen states 'tranferring messages', which takes a few minutes. After that, it's always been there when I've looked

AFAIK, the only station that is broadcasting TMC info in the UK is Classic FM. If you have the car set to TMC Auto, it will pickup the Classic FM data.

TMC has saved me so many times in Europe in the past... Thank God it works in the UK now.

TMC is so nice! Specially when the radio stations transmit traffic jam, "stau" etc.

I have driven with it, in Sweden, Denmark and Germany..
