Anybody got TMC working on a RNS-E? In my case RS4(B7) it is crossed out with a diagonal line.
It worked fine on my B5 and is hightly frustrating on a new car... anybody know the score?

Have you got the right country setup? Can you get Classic FM?

Do all B5 RS4's have TMC?
My satnav disk is getting abit old and its time to get a new one, but I don't want to fork out the extra for TMC if it won't work...

Phil, Classic FM is fine.. but when you direct the TMC where to get its information from nothing is there (not even Classic FM).
I just wondered if anybody with a B7 had TMC functional.

Geoff, for audi's sat nav system you need to contact Teleatlas for their latest TMC enabled disc. TMC works fine in the B5.

TMC for B7's (RNS-E - DVD disk) is not available yet in the UK. It will work in europe. No licensed disk availble yet from Audi or anyone else.
We have the 2006, 2006_1 and neither of them have TMC.

Thanks Craig,
I have DVD disc 2006.
Is that is it then? Audi simply have not bothered to pay a licence fee? It is pretty poor from a consumer point of view when you buy a £50K + car and the TMC doesn't work - this was not the case on my B5 and BMW seem to have it sorted!!!!
I guess that this is not unique to teh RS4 then an in fact any Audi with an RNS-E will not have TMC... Come on Audi - what are you playing at?

TMC has been released for the A6 & A8 MMI, but audi UK are still having problems updating cars with that disk too, it seems they cause problems when flash updating cars built before Week 45 2005, seems like a hardware issue to me. All updates are on hold until Audi UK sort this issue out.
As for the A3,A4 & A6 RNS-E users, well it seems they will just have to wait until Audi release the DVD disk with TMC enabled for the UK

That's pretty poor don't you think? on a 50K + car and it simply does not work.

How do you think an £80K A8 driver feels?
