Thanks for that.
Mine is the MGR version with the 4 3 screen and single tuner but the screens I see are the same. I can select the items to be reported ok but when I go to the service selection screen and select RDS-TMC it comes up with the message "Note: No RDS-TMC function available" I just don't know why. |

I've got speed camera notifications on mine, is this part of the Original BMW DVD or do I need to procure a "modified" one off ebay?! )) |

The TMC works fine, normally it says in the advert if they are TMC enabled. As far as I am aware the speed camera notifications are part of the modified firmware in the Mk4 unit but I am not sure how this relates to the map disc that you use. |

Unfortunately my system uses a DVD disc, otherwise I would have suggested trying my disc in your car to see if TMC worked. |

It's all a bit confusing at first. When I saw that the disks I had contained all the tmc events on them I assumed they were enabled for tmc. I think perhaps that they do not contain the lookup tables or they are not linked internally in the file/s hence my receiving the message "RDS-TMC not available" I had wondered if that. Could have been due to poor signal or bad antenna connection although the radio seems fine.
I have a 2005 disc which has worked with TMC on a members car now to try and I do not get that message any more. The TMC at the bottom of the screen has not gone green yet and I have seen no notifications of incidents but I was only parked outside my house although I did put a route in. I will try it out on my journeys to and from work and see what I find. Fingers crossed. Then it is a case of finding the latest tmc enabled CD for a mk 3 unit. I have emailed to ask about the suitability of the CD in the link below: http://www.satnavupgrades.co.uk/id4....021/category=0 Will see how it turns out. Edit: I have now heard back from Rusty at satnavupgrades.co.uk The last year that TMC was available on CD was 2009. So it seems I was chasing rainbows looking for a later disk for the mk3 unit with TMC enabled. Brian Last edited by brianw; 11th June 2018 at 16:43.. |

You must have either the BM24/54 tuner or have Classic FM selected.
The TMC icon does in fact turn green, perhaps it only does this while receiving data. But it definitely turns green |

IWell I have gone green at last!
Or rather the TMC at the bottom of the screen has. Criswell kindly brough around a 2006 BMW disc that he had and as soon as it was put in the TMC went green and within a few seconds we started seeing the icons appearing on the map screen indicating traffic problems. Very satisfying. Thanks Gary. Brian |

Brian I am glad you have got to the bottom of your problem, just goes to show the BMW forums are right and the TMC data can still be held within a disc that is not TMC enabled... Sure they do these things to confuse us all! |

That is correct, only some cars were fitted with that completely separate option - a tiny unit just behind the dash, which shows any issues on the graphic display of the hi-line dash. It was gradually turned off around the UK and I last saw any messages a few years ago. The system being discussed here, is the TMC which is silently transmitted via the FM radio system, providing a list of any issues and the type of issue. The inbuilt TMC system of my Radioguy system, came into operation just last Friday, to warn me of an accident just ahead of me on the A168, heading for the A1(M), which was causing major holdups. I followed its suggested diversion, which just took me on a circular route and back to the place I had left on the A168 to rejoin the queue. Rather than rejoin the queue, I opted to ignore the satnav and follow a parallel road, cutting out around 4 miles of the queue - rejoining it just before the accident.
