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:-

    Traffic information is transmitted from Classic FM using TMC and on DAB using TPEG

    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

    He wasn't asking about the SatNav SD card but rather if it had a data sim card for the traffic information.

    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.
