The feature, you are describing only works in europe.  It does not work over here in the UK.  It is similar to tom tom traffic alerts.  It lets you see where, traffic is in advance.

Is that why, i really dont understand why, id expect it to be the other way if anything. can u cofirm that doc?

[The Doc]

Hmmm.

If, as I think it is TMC then it should work in the uk as I have pioneer navigation in my works vans and they pick up TMC information and re-route you automatically.

I will go for a spin in my r32 on Saturday and try to work out I can get it to work in the UK.

I have used Dynamic route guidance abroad but have not tried it here!

I'll let you know my findings!

[Phil mcavity]

cheers buddy, i look forward to your findings.

[The Doc]

Just going to get her out

The CD/DVD needs to be TMC-enabled, and the one VW ship isn't (at least my June 2005 one isn't). If you look at the suppliers website the TMC CDs are about 50% more expensive than the standard ones.

I have a TMC-enabled CD for France and it works as described, i.e. dynamic route guidance.
