Hi, I have just bought a bmw with the satnav pro. The system should have a TMC function. But the tmc function doesnt work, it always display in Red colour at the buttom of the screen. The car is currently using the bmw 2002-2 cd. Is it because the cd is an old version.
If I buy a newer version CD rom, will it work?

Thanks!

Suggest you speak to BMW customer service but it's probably because the disc that you're using doesn't have the TMC codes.

Check on http://www.navshop.com and see whether your car is listed. If it is, you'll likely see that there are two discs available - one with and without TMC. TMC normally costs two-thirds to double the cost of a disc without. Check the earlier thread re. VW SatNav.

thanks!

I have just contacted BMW customer service GB. I have been told that the 2002-2 cd i have does work with tmc, just need to fill in a form at a local bmw dealership parts departement and they will register it with tmc for me. He also suggest that buying the latest version CD (2005-2) wouldnt solve the problem, it will also needed to be register at bmw dealer.

However, he said that there is no cost to register!

But i just called stephen james bmw in enfield. Their parts departement seems to have not much idea about the form to register TMC.
