Just a heads up,

Dj Kolia (of ebay) has the NEW 2008 VW Sat Nav discs with TMC.



Got a link to this ?

not sure, but my RNS 510 touchscreen which came in from germany (via ebay) must have the most up to date maps I guess, as the TMC has worked since day 1.  it provides a list of traffic problems and also displays queuing traffic on the map.

Have they paid the licence fee now then?  Are the 2008 disks enabled?

I'm sure mine didn't work on the 07 plate Ed30 I bought in March.. I assumed that this was still the case.  :undecided:  I'll have to check it again.

There are 2 sat nav cd's/dvd's. One has TMC and the other doesnt. Those of you who have the one that has TMC will get traffic feeds.
MFD2 uses TMC when you load a TMC enabled cd or dvd into it

IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT CD/DVD YOUR USING !!!

Dj kolia is doing them at not £10, not £20 but thirty GBP a pop which is good value for money

Why is it that I can get TMC in europe then and not the UK? 

My DVD is the Navigation Europa (V4)
also has Blaupunkt, Teleatlas and ViaMichelin writen on the front.

No mention of TMC though but as I said above, it works in Holland and Germany.

Don't know about pan-European DVDs but my original 2005 UK CD wasn't TMC-enabled (thanks VW) but the new one I bought is and works fine. It gets its information from Classic FM, who carry the messages. The CD states explicitly that it supports TMC (the old one didn't).

Hi there,

Does anybody know if VW have included UK TMC in the 2008/V5 DVD or will I have to buy the latest (and expensive!) Blaupunkt/Teleatlas DVD?

Can't really find any up to date info on this.

My headunit is the 2005 DVD based MFD2.


Thanks  :laugh:
