TMC Observation

[bluec180]

I have a sept 2006 CLs with comand fitted, I just changed from a w203 also with comand. On the w203 TMC used to show traffic jams all the time no matter what radio station the unit was on.

Since I have had the CLS I have noticed far less traffic jams showing up on the display. On the way home this evening I zoomed out so I could see the entire M25 on the screen. Guess what no traffic jams on the M25 at 6pm, no way!

I tuned to classic FM then went back to the map and bingo the red ring around london had appeared.

My worry is with this CLS is that I have to keep the radio tuned to classic FM to get a heads up on what the traffics doing. Anyone able to shed some light on this?

Not sure what year your W203 was but earlier versions of COMAND only had one tuner so you had to listen to Classic FM to receive TMC. The fact you aren't receiving error messages would seem to indicate your secondary tuner is not working rather than the fact that you haven't got one.

I have been noticing this exact same thing recently.
