I paid to subscribe to Traffic Master when I bought my second Omega back in 2005.  I wanted everything to work and this included the square button.

I've gotta say, I didn't think it was that much use - not worth the subscription cost.

Others will disagree but unless you're using the trunk road network a lot, not sure it's of much use...

Yes, I guess TM isn't much use on the grid.

For those of us who venture outside of toytown, its a bit more useful ;)

Hummm?, Not sure about that one, Sony HU pre-amps out arn't (as far as I know) compatable with the Bose Amp inputs, Check the Bose Sub Base Box (in the rear n/s rear side panel on the estate) bet its not working, sounds like they may have wired the Sony direct to the Speakers (Crossovers??).

I,m intrested pls let me know!

Just a positive plug for Traffic Master. It is effective as someone has already said on the major roads only and obviously the motorways.

To get the best use out of it you just need to be organised with your CID Sat Nav to switch Route Class to eg "avoid Motorway" - then bring up the screen to see the new route and its line against the motorway so you can judge where to come back on. I have used it for 6 years and subject to a few hiccups it has overall been helpful. Never had to mess with it - just input the renewal code.
