traffic master retro fit?
« on: 28 February 2009, 09:36:09 »
In the absence of any tmc or traffic info in the car, can tm be retro fitted to my 3.2 elite with 2015 head unit?

If so, what do i need? The unit itself obviously,a silver one from Dave dnd perhaps?

and a button with any loom involved?

Cheers

Chris.

...and as you have Telematics you'll need to add two wires to the 36 way loom.

If you have cash to burn I was looking on the TM website the other day.

IIRC it was about £150 to get a TM fully fitted and with a subscrption for as long as you own the car.

Actually it's £130.

Which is a very good deal if you plan to keep the car more than 4 years

Maybe because you didn't pay the licence (hack it) ?

No, The warning messages about licence expiry (which we can turn off) will still be heard when connected correctly.

Sorry, I can only help with the box itself, not the installation.

hmmm, took a closer look at my module earlier and noticed the seal broken. So with nothing to loose i took the back off, then removed the 3 screws and turned the board over. Not much to see except there is an adjustable screw needing a flat blade screw driver to turn it set into the board. Whats that for then, anyone?

No, don`t mess with that pot - bugger to put right again !!

If you get the message of phone on the display, the TM is powered and working, but there is a problem withthe audio somewhere.

The audio out of the TM is the following wires

Orange / Red  =  Audio output of TM
Brown / Red =  Audio Ground

This is a low level output, so needs to go to the Phone audio input of the head unit.
