Has anyone else noticed that the TMC in the premium Nav system seems to working a lot better recently (March 2007) Have classic FM done something on their broadcasts in the SE? 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Being a new owner I can't comment on what it was like in the past.

It's great when it works but a few months ago it never picked up the signal even after a long drive. Now it picks up the signal all the time! |

noticed the improvement yesterday - tailback on the M5 northbound yesterday afternoon which it warned me about - of course I ignored it like I normally do thinking I know better |

Have you had the car serviced? I have Nav on the move update and the TMNC works well. New software maybe? 2022 P440e AB |

), retune to Classic and all is well until "some time later" - maybe next ignition off/on, maybe overnight....
)...so can only assume it is the retuning that is knackering the RRS implementation of it???| shmoogle Member Since: 07 Sep 2005 Location: ... and for every sprinkle I find, I shall kill you! Posts: 24350

If I remember there are two TMC providers in the UK... some mfrs sign up with one, other sign up with the other one. The broadcast is all via Classic FM, but there may be some differences in the mechanism that delivers the data to them in the first place. |

Two systems that both broadcast via Classic? If so that might explain the difference. The Alpine is quite usefully-regional-specific, ie you don't get the map clogged with traffic icons for the SE unless you are getting the signal from a Classic xmiter down that way etc. Trouble is the RRS doesn't get clogged with anything anywhere unless manually retuned all the time....
