Hello fellow mig owners/lovers
I was wondering how much it costs to get the Traffic Master lady talking to me . Got the button just wondered how much etc... ?

[ENFIELD_MV6]

hehe was just looking at mine and found that button, i to am curious aswell, what are the benefits of it ?? does it get you out of jams

[footloose]

I think it warns of traffic holdups a few miles ahead when your on the motorway. Mine keeps coming on and shouts at me when the radio is on, telling me to re subscribe. I don't know how much though.
There must be somebody in the forum that has it.

going to do a search to see what it brings up

It costs £30 for a year's subscription, which my work kindly paid for. It's got me out of a few jams, eg I'm at Heathrow and need to get back to Kent so could go either way - TM tells me there's stationary traffic for 10 miles at the Dartford crossing so I'd go via the Surrey stretch. Sometimes there's nowt you can do but at least you know how long a wait you're in for and can call someone to say how late you're going to be. Mind you I live near the Dartford crossing so mine never shuts up!

dont know how much for the year but it is on their web site, last i looked anyway.

It is usefull, informs of traffic on motorways and some A roads for 2 junctions range. Eg approaching the m4, 100 yards from  slough junction 6 this evening, it told of a serious delay relating to jcn 4 on the m25 , avoid, and free flowing traffic on the A404 at jcn 8 as well as reporting traffic flow on the m4 itself. Dead handy for me, but if you drive mostly round town it wont be that much help.

found this if it helps, does not really say much or if it will help any

i had one in MV6, in my old tractor (now Squealeys) and in the Rover.  I find it useful, though not perfect - like satnav and the like its just another driver aid

[Lazydocker]

As TB says really... It's not perfect but can be very helpful if on major roads a lot

I use it and IIRCC it's about £30/year or £55 for 2

[pscocoa]

Yes it is well worth it if you do a lot of motorway AND have a Sat Nav to get best out of situation.

TM alerts you to problems ahead and then you switch to SatNav to select alternate routes.

Has been well worth it for me over the years.

cant see it being worth while for me as i only go from here back to melton mowbray and no the route and alternatives if i need them

Easy to cut the wire, you just have to trace it first. Mine used to remind me to renew every time I turned the ignition on - GRRR!
