Traffic information (TIM) & TP. RCD510

Sorry this is incorrect. The traffic update info is audible. The GPS unit then provides the option of re-routing your journey.

How do I get SUNA GPS Traffic Updates?

SUNA traffic information is encrypted and available only through a compatible navigation device or in-car system. It is silently transmitted in a normal FM radio broadcast and will not interfere with your radio. You will hear nothing, but your navigation system, via the TMC receiver, will decode this information and your navigation device in turn, will advise you.

what a shame the TMC hasnt been implemented.

i was in tullamarine, melbourne heading to the city wednesday and they said there was a big crash on the freeway inbound. i decided to stop off at a shopping mall and have a coffee rather than get stuck.

If I was driving the passat ( she doesnt let me use it during the week much ) and if we had TMC going , I could have checked it out !

while having a coffee i picked up a copy of top gear march and they have a write up of the passat CC.
reads well .

Sunas response from my enquiry....



Dear Sir

Thank you for your enquiry regarding Suna Traffic Channel.

As we progress the roll out of the SUNA services, we are talking with all areas of automotive and navigation industries. SUNA is a subscription based service provided to our customers as an encrypted transmission which they then provide to consumers. As such the receiving devices need to be capable of decoding the information. Devices capable of decoding this transmission are available from those companies with which we have a commercial agreement (please check here for specific device information http://www.sunatraffic.com.au/moreinfo.html).

Unfortunately at this time we do not have a commercial agreement with VW. For further information regarding their plans, I would encourage you to continue checking with the manufacturer themselves for service availability information.
Please continue to check back at www.sunatraffic.com.au as we will update information regarding service and product availability as soon as we are able.

Thank you for your interest in Suna Traffic Channel.

Kind regards
