I've just upgraded my Sat Nav software version and am wondering if the TMC will now work. I'l be driving from Warwick to Barnstaple later, down the M5, so it should be a good chance to test it out.

So firstly, what do I need to do to switch it on. (I think I've done this as TMC appears in the bottom of the display - does the text colour matter).

Secondly, how will I know if it is working?

Thanks,

Vlad.

I've turn on TMC under the Navigation menu, but I don't have an info button.

I only have a MK 2 nav system, so that could be why.

I drove home Friday night but didn't get any TMC information and there were plenty of problems so I should have done. According to the manual, the text appears at the bottom of the screen and is black when switched on but non-functioning, and then goes green when it receives info. This just didn't happen.

Additionally, the manual says that I don't need to tune to a particular station and that it find it automatically.

My Nav CD is 2004-1. Is this likely to be too old?
