Hi, although I do have an up to date (11/12) map for my MK3 SatNav it does not support TMC/C-IQ.

do you have a tmc receiver in amongst all the electronics in the back, if no then no nav update will give you it... |

Thanks Scarey, I haven't physically checked that the radio receiver is compatible or if there is a physically separate receiver. I guess I would have to cross check the receiver part no.

strange that the 11/12 disc doesn't support tmc, or does it but the car hasn't got the receiver... |

Perhaps my faulty understanding but this is what I have gleaned so far.

Thanks Stan, I have sent a message to the seller enquiring about the disc.

The Radio Module (BM54) is TMC compatible on the early cars. As you say, it's the map CD that allows it to work.

Thanks Martin, I don't know about the upgrade to the Mk4. I like the "clunky" Mk3, it's sort of "steam-punky" and the sonorous tones of the SatNav voice (with the Hi-Fi set to Concert Hall) are wonderful. |
