Default RDS-TMC in UK


In a belated reply to your message, you need a Navigation Disc with TM
codes for the UK. TeleAtlas have just issued UK 2004 with TMC codes
This costs £155. This is so expensive because, unlike in Europe, th
service in the UK is run by a commercial provider who takes its mone
via a charge on the Discs.

I bought one and used it on my Mercedes COMAND system yesterday. I
works quite well, as described in the manual. However it did flag
section of motorway as busy as i was drving on it and it was clear!

I can confirm that the radio needs to be tuned to Classic FM, but i
can be muted or you can listen to CDs or Tapes instead. I am with yo
in that I would like it on other channels as well such as BBC ones
However, I would imagine there is some exchange of money between the
parties so we are unlikely to see anychange for a while.

For further limited information you may look at the web site of th
provider company at http://www.itisholdings-info.co.uk/
