So where does it get its information from?? Is it the same avenues as all the other sat nav systems out there??

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 :rolleyes: Your TMC worked in Europe because those countries did :wink:

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