No Traffic Info on Vehicles’ SatNav

#1 Post by barkingmad » Fri Sep 01, 2023 10:15 pm

My 2020 VW Golf Mk 7 has decided for some reason this summer to not bother alerting me to traffic problems through the OEM SatNav fitted as standard.

With a route programmed the nav screen shows ‘TMC’ with a diagonal line through it.

Has anyone else with VW, Audi, BMW or Mercedes or indeed any other car make had the same problem?

I found this whilst ferreting on the interweb which explains it better than I can;

It seems the dealerships shrug shoulders and say “Not My Problem” but as prime contractor are they not liable under either warranty or Sale of Goods legislation? ~X(

How long does your satnav membership subscription last?

Your post caused me to look at my Skoda TMC (which I do not use) and notice it is not working.
