Prhim Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 If anyone is interested in seeing the dynamic traffic information working in the Touareg... Apologies for the low-quality phonecam images, but you should get the idea: Image 1: Map shows congestion on road "M4" - with dashed blue/red color-coding and warning triangle image (bottom right). Image 2: List of current traffic alerts in local area (30-40 miles or so) Image 3: Detailed info on individual traffic report Image 4: Showing the TMC as logged-on to radio signal, and 6 current traffic messages You do need a special Nav disk to make this work in the UK (not supplied by VW......), but once set up, seems to work reasonably well.

Trapdoor Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 This looks great. How and where do you get hold of the CD? Is there a subscription to pay or is it delivered on the RDS system? My dealer seems clueless on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prhim Posted August 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Trapdoor, VW dealer probably clueless because VW insistent it doesn't work..... No subscription charge (assume is included in disk price). Works similar to RDS; signal comes through on the Classic FM frequency, which the disks are pre-programmed to lock onto. Got mine from satnavshop.com but might be cheaper (if not entirely legit) examples on eBay. Hope that helps. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
