My TMC worked last month on my Nurburgring trip in Holland and Germany (great feature by the way) but does not work here. (MFD2)
MFD2 is enabled for TMC but the DVD's supplied to date were not so enabled. Apparently VW UK would/did not pay the licence fee to the disc manufacturers for the privilege

Your TMC worked in Europe because those countries did

Good news if VW have now gone all EU friendly - nowt to do with the Government or politics though
