Did somebody mention TMC?

Iirc, the story is it works fine in Europe? But not in uk.

.....also interested to know if it works on the new versions.

[feeutfo]

TMC aside for a minute, what other improvements are included In the update? It's obviously a major revision if other previous versions are rendered useless....?

[hotel21]

Will let you know in a day or two.......

[feeutfo]

 Ooooh getting excited. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

What's the betting? I reckonnnnnn...... on the bassis of the update size, yes, £1 or a curry says tmc works....?

Will let you know in a day or two.......

That ^^ is the very latest for the NCDC2013 and the compatibility section has a serious warning on it .... 

I got a 2010 disc from Germany for £35, not seen any 2011 on ebay.de yet, and no signs of the "software" CD either


If anyone wants a 2008/2009 disc there is one here ..

That's a good price Nige, but tbh I'm not bothered about updating the latest map personally. I have stuff on a phone with better usability, although nowhere near as accurate. The combination of both serves mewell enough, although with 3 women yaking in the car it can get a little tiresome.

However if TMC works, and possibly other upgrades(I don't know, will it have post codes? :-/ ) then I would consider the 2011.

[Shimmy]

In dream land I'd hope the 2011 disc has TMC, post codes and speed cameras. 

Thinking pessimistically I think they could just introduce this 'big' update to make sure people have to buy the whole package so that they have access to the software cd, preventing splits on ebay.  And just a simple map update.  Hopefully not though ey!

The other issue that the update could highlight is the speed of the unit. TB and I have noticed different versions of the NCDC/R hardware seem to have different operating speeds, not sure if this is down to memory or clock speed of the processor.

If the update is adding large amounts of functionality it could conceivably slow the unit down.

Yes TB has spotted my unit with 03 disc runs some of the exploded views quicker than his, and I find I'm already through the round about and out the other side before it's shown me which exit to take, although the voice command is fine. Bit irritating though.

[hotel21]

Initial findings from someone more cleverer than wot I is says that it does not enable TMC..... 

[feeutfo]

 . Doh, so I guess the next question is.... what's the update for? I hope it's not just a map update done differently...?

[tidla]

i will stick with the 2010 disc then.

is it no longer available as a uk only disc or that a later release ?

To the best of my knowledge only sold as part of the mega-expensive pack .. around 200Euros.. which is why I got mine from ebay.de ... there are, occasionaly, folks who have bought the big pack who sell on the discs they don't need. Takes a while but eventualy they turn up .. mine cost me £35 - BTW .. these are genuine items .. don't buy the copies...

[humbucker]

anyone know if the new/recent editions have postcode search?
