If you look at the 4th picture on this tread it will show you the TMC working with traffic probelms.

Looking on Wikipedia it says that in the UK it is a subscribed service - is this the case or is it free?

Have you tried to connect the System to a Notebook ? This would make it easier to update or configure the system i think. Maybe it should work via the USB connection ?

picky747 · 26th November 2009, 20:34

No USB computer connection but I have had the unit to pieces and there is a serial port connection on the main board.

I keep asking and I know aesthetics matter and functionality, BUT how does it sound?

It sounds awesome, i was sat in the car when Graham turned it up running off the micro sd card and its loverly and crisp with nice bass too, just as you'd expect from the standard unit

So it solves the puny bass problem on the standard symphony models as well? This unit just gets better and better

Hi Paul,

There is no subscription charge in the UK if you want the premium TMC then it is chargeable, but you do not need it, it is free from the local radio stations, I have the TMC on my head unit and on my PDA (just in case I use another car) and it works very well.
