    How cool is TMC

    Went to London this week for 1st time using COMAND. Wasn't sure about trusting the TMC, as a regular on the route, assumed that I knew best, but boy was I wrong. On the way down, I went my usual route (M6 M1), but it kept telling me to go M42 M40 - but did I listen? - did I %*#@!, so I ended up...

    TMC with Audio 50 APS

    I have bought the latest software for my Audio 50 APS with TMC. I bought the discs from Germany and therefore have a German handbook which I cannot read. When looking at the TMC messages you see a queue of cars with numbers 1,2 or 3 alongside them. Can anyone explain what the numbers mean...

    TMC: Does it work?

    Have tried TMC facility on Version 8.0 DVD in and around London for a month or so now, and have found it to be 100% unreliable. Traffic jams shown on the screen do not exist, and ones that do are not. When I've followed revised directions, I usually wish I hadn't. How accurate is it outside...

    TMC working well on new satnav discs??

    I have a seperate Trafficmaster unit in the car which has saved my skin and time on many occasions. I spend way to much time on the UK M way network and its been well worth the £100 a year for total UK road coverage. Im about to upgrade the Comand Satnav disc to V6 and the TMC system is...

    TMC now does not work

    The TMC on comand does not work after the car (CL 600) went in for some work. Is the TMC an option within the Star system, because the mechanic I took the car too did not have the star diagnostic but has managed to change various readouts (press the ABC button and it used to confirm on the...

    TMC Comand

    I have got V.6.3 disc for my Comand APS which gives me TMC. Has anyone noticed that the symbols for traffic problems show on the wrong side of the road. I have spoken with the dealer who tells me that he has never come across this. I'm not over fussed if the unit is recalulating routes...

    New software and TMC receiver for Tom Tom x10 series

    EDIT: just found out that this release includes new firmware to put the GPS chipset into a different mode ... making better use of the sensitive GPS antenna in the x10 Tom Toms. This finally activates the ‘QuickGPsFix’ feature where the position of satellites is downloaded to the unit, resulting...

    TMC Problem?

    I recently upgraded my COMAND 2.5 system to MY2001, thanks to a fellow forum member. I have the 2006 DX sat nav disk and, before I upgraded, I was able to select the TMC option, although I never tried it. Since the OS upgrade I can no longer access TMC, the option is now greyed out. I suspect...

    How bad is TMC

    I have been forming an opinion of just how bad TMC is on Comand but I have kept it to myself and not voiced it here because of a lack of real hard evidence. Well I got it this morning. I drive along the A3 from Haslemere to Guildford. This morning, just as I joined the tail-end of what...
