Mine's done that...  If you accidentally knock the traffic master button it does remind you that your licence has expired...  Nothing to worry about    :y

Are you driving a facelift?

Mine is a pre-facelift (mini facelift), and the button is to the right of the steering wheel near the head-lights...   :y

It is a button marked with a "T", in miggies usually on the dash board, on the right of the steering wheel, close to the light switch. ;)

.....and yes it will let you know its status every so often! :D :D ;)

And will occasionally even give you traffic info apparently... Mine does it all the time because I renewed the subscription :y :y

I assumes it still recieves data whether subscribed or not? My actual question being will the number is says to ring be the correct one?

How much is it to subscribe?

I can't help thinking that ringing the number will answer at least one, possibly both of your questions

On all Omegas with TM, the button is just to left of light switch.  It has a habit of piping up if the battery isn't brilliant condition.

Occasionally, it may work properly even if unsubscribed, though thats rare.

I like trafficmaster, all 3 of my cars have it fitted.  Its not perfect, but its another driver aid.

You're going to have to start digging then for the actual box of tricks. The aerial is two wires, red one & black one that are taped to the top of the radio cage, it's fed from a plug-in loom between the main loom & the back of the radio & IIRC some are ally casing and some are a black plastic casing that will live somewhere around the fusebox under the steering wheel. :y

Well there you go, I've learned another bit of useless info ;D ;D ;D ....... mine was an ally box & I swapped all mine for a trim without the TM hole years ago.

Is there any real difference between the plastic box and the ally one with the areial . The subscription on mine is just about to expire and would be good to get the better one working . The car had the the ally one fitted when I got it but I had the black one with valid subscription on so I fitted that  :-/ :question

Black one has no aerial so easier to retrofit. Also slightly more advanced in that it says whether short or long range on the delay.

Mine used to talk to me EVERY time I turned the key, got so annoying I disconnected it, the switch is now used as an interior light OFF switch. Long story. ::)
