tmc

Even I understand this explanation..................... worth reading to get a grasp what it all means and how it works.......... TMC Explained

Hi all I hope this is a quick question.... I have a 1999 W220 S320 LWB with COMAND, not sure what version it is totally confused by the different models TBH but anyway. I purchased an original TeleAtlas CD navigation set from PikeyBay this week having been advised that this was the version...

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...

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...

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...

My wife has recently took delivery of her new C Class – very, very nice! Unlike the previous C Class Comand, the new Comand System can plan routes dynamically by using TMC data. My wife travels alot of business miles, my question is, how good is the Dynamic route planning? Would you use it? or...

Could anyone confirm if TMC (in the UK) is functional on the above units ? Both units dispaly the TMC banner but have never seen/noticed any messages or navigational 'diversions' on any DYNAMIC route settings :confused:

TMC Versus Trafficmaster...Who wins?? Thursday Dec 6th at 8.45AM travelling on the M26 heading for the M25. TMC tells me that the M26 has an average speed of 24mph with little yellow cars across its whole length while trafficmaster YQ2 box tells me no problems on the M26. Reality... Im...

I have read numerous threads & had PM's regarding TMC with 5.1 version DVD, basicaly will TMC work with V5.1 DVD?:confused:

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hi Guys... Can anyone tell me if TMC is avaliable on APS 4.1? It's in a 54 registered S class.... Many thanks!

When I used my upgraded map disc Ver. 7 it asks if I wanted to allow TMC funtionality in which I select yes. The TMC logo will go bold if I tune in to a radio station that supports it, but I don't seem to notice that it is actually working when in Nav mode (obviously with a destination...

Should I have TMC on comand in this car or not.:confused: Dealer says probably not but I reckon it should have and if so are they fobbing me off with an old disc.:rolleyes:

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...

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...

I have a W210 Comand 2.0 CD version using the latest 2006 French TMC enabled DX CD, and when I recently returned from visiting Versailles/Paris I used the Dynamic routing option but when I tried it both at Calais and in Paris both times the system couldn't find the Radio channel transmitting the...

I wasn't going to write to ask why the TMC on my new ML doesn't work as there are many posts about MB not having a licence etc. However I used my Dad's '05 S class this week and his TMC works - and is great. So whats wrong with my ML ??
