Trillionz Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 My car is a 2009 and the nav disc is also 2009 so how is it that new roads are on it and how does it get traffic updates? It is this unit in mine:- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Andy_M Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Traffic information is transmitted from Classic FM using TMC and on DAB using TPEG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granville_focus Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I think the navigation/mapping data is on a data memory card which is accessed behind the silver panel surrounding the on/off/volume botton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any mention of a data sim card in Trillionz post re traffic information? "My car is a 2009 and the nav disc is also 2009 so how is it that new roads are on it and how does it get traffic updates?" As well as asking how the unit gets traffic updates, he also appears to be asking how it is that newer roads than 2009 are on the nav. I would assume that it has had an updated SatNav Data Card fitted in the location posted by granville_focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
