Title: RDS-TMC (vnr 9000)
Post by - Mike - on Sep 12^th, 2005, 9:37pm

Hola

I spoke to FMD today who could find nothing related to TMC for the VNR listed. But I did get the impression from what was not being said that a second aerial is required, this would follow with what I saw on this picture

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a207/uib/Ford-9000-VNR-rear-Visteon.jpg

the question now is what type i.e normal, gsm. gprs. interstellar ???
and then what ??? is this a subscription deal ??? do I need a disk or is it TMC ready internally ???

No one seems to know and the internet isn't forthcoming either.

As for Trafficmaster well what can I say, I would have had more luck trying to a pizza from them than I did with retrieving any info regarding TMC >:(

Anybody shed some light please ;D

TIA
Mike

Craig,
what are you saying is sensible money? Whichever you chose is going to cost a fair bit and if the navigation disk isn't up to date there is another £70 or so for that. You can get a bit back on your radio that is in the car now, but that's it. £402 is a good price.

Go for the travelpilot, a lot cheaper and none of them fussy colour screens to distract you!!

baz....
i bid £400.00 on the 1 which for sale on ebay,that was with the original disc and the aerial,unfortunatelly got outbid though............... :'( :'( :'(
there are 2 on there at the moment,however the feedback of 1 of the sellers is not good,and the other 1 in the picture looks a bit scratched and the switch is missing on it as well.............................
so what i am saying is i am more than prepared to go up to £400.00 for a good unit that has the bits and pieces with it as well..........

so theres the carrot .....who can i tempt with it.... ??? ???
