Satnav Tmc Issues?

[thenry]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone is having problems picking up TMC information in Sydney. My car picked it up for a couple of days then stopped. I didn't take it back thinking that it was something I did, and the dealer would fix it up when it went into for it's 3k service.

The dealer and Ford are saying that the service isn't supported. Which surprises me considering that they sell it.

Are you talking about the in dash sat nav or one of the window mount ones that ford sells??

I have the in dash one, and it works a treat however I live in Brisbane not Sydney.

Just one thing to keep in mind is that mine often drops out and it doesnt seem to scan to see if it can pick the signal up again. The only way I have found to do this is to go to info, click on TMC Channels and select the first option. It then reconnects and you should be right.

Otherwise there may be something going on in Sydney with the system but Im not sure.

It's the in dash model. Glad it's working for you. Mine won't detect that there are any channels. can pick up the radio station but. So I don't think signal is the problem. Talking to 13 Ford this morning made me think that they are having trouble with the manufacturers, as I asked them to put it in writing. which they just don't want to do. hopefully they'll sort it out before I have to sook off to consumer affairs.

My TMC has never ever connected since dec 08.

Everytime it goes in to ford, they claim they dont know how to fix it.

Rang the 13 number the other day and explained to them, and they investigated it. They rang back and said they have spoken to the service manager at my local ford and told him to look into it and try and fix it.

I spose it will never get fixed.
