Full Map Nav And Tmc Problem

[marcel groeneweg]

Hi everyone,

I have been struggling with the traffic information on the full map navigation.

After a while I found out that the system does not show traffic information when the TMC station is set to one particular station ('SKY RADIO', Dutch music station)

This could be that the radio station claims it transmits TMC while it doesn't or the unit does not understand the information it receives.

When it switches to another radio station, TMC works fine.

To come around that, the TMC function allows the radio station to be selected from a list i.s.o. automatic selection.

However, it appears that the list only shows the station which was already selected by the automatic function.

So, when the automatic function switched to another station I locked it in using the manual function.

We tested it as the dealer with another Auris, the automatic TMC function choose a different radio station than mine, while the cars were standing next to each other.

This showed that both radio stations could be received on the TMC function at that place and time.

Also, many other radio stations which transmit TMC could be received clearly on the normal FM radio.

Has anyone had the same experience?

Would you be willing to try it as to prove that there is a general problem?

Just press the menu button, then press TMC on the touch screen and press the manual station selection.

It can take a few minutes, but then a list is shown.

In the test with my car and the show model, only the currently selected station is shown.

It should show a list of all available stations, so one can select another station, obviously.

Please post any results you have, if it works fine in your car please let me know too!
