If I buy a TomTom x50 series, will the active dock included in the box include RDS-TMC? I think the answer is no... however, I have read contradictory information, from both this website and from Amazon. TomTom's website doesn't mention it, however.

I'd be very grateful if anyone in-the-know could confirm either way.

No it doesn't.

The RDS-TMC version of the dock is available as an accessory only ~(for £50).

Those reports were made on the basis of an early press release from TomTom themselves which subsequently turned out to be wrong.

Andy, that's great, thanks for clearing that up.

Your reply will help others too - I found it impossible to confirm that this feature wasn't in the box. Many retailers other than Amazon also list it in the product description. Must be in breach of the Trade Descriptions Act, they should sort it out.
