TMC

[Nickm]

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?

[PhilT]

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

[geoffone]

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...

I'm running an aftermarket Kenwood setup on my B5

[Nickm]

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.

[Nickm]

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.

[craigyb]

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

[Nickm]

Very, very upset!
