My Nissan connect unit isn't showing any traffic information for last week or so. Any ideas why? Worked fine last week. Thanks

I find same on occasions- when I park up for dog walk next to the A34 (on parallel road), some days shows reams of traffic messages, some days reports nothing..which surely can't be right.

Assume due to faults with the RDS service.

Still no traffic messages for my area. Nissan haven't been much help.

Two weeks ago on holiday in Cornwall, accident on A30, 2 hours stationary, nothing on the messages, blank page. Next day near Oxford looked at them, page after page of messages. I have been impressed at how the Satnav reroutes when it does detect traffic problems, it's happened to us in France as well.

Have you got TA (Traffic Announcements) button activated?

RDS-TMC


RDS-TMC stands for Radio Data Systems Traffic Message Channel. It’s road traffic information send over FM radio to special in -car receivers. In the UK, RDS-TMC data is collected by the company ITIS, and sent out over-air on Classic FM.

Some new sat nav devices are capable of getting RDS-TMC data, and updating routes to avoid traffic hotspots. The service is compatible with a number of TomTom Sat Nav devices, including: TomTom Go 510, Go 710, Go 720 and 910 units. A special RDS-TMC receiver is required.

RDS-TMC is available in the UK, transmitted by Classic FM. RDS-TMC is also available in the following countries: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland
