Section 9: Traffic Message Channel (TMC)


Note:

This Function can only be activated after installation of external TMC

antenna and software upgrade.

Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is a subscription service that provides navigation
systems with traffic information broadcast by radio stations. The Delphi NAV200
has an optional receiver that allows subscribers to receive up-to-the-minute traffic
information and allows you to adjust your route accordingly.

Check with

for additional information on adapter kits

that can be plugged into Delphi NAV200 and subscriber services.

Once you have activated TMC per the adapter kit’s instructions, use the
information in this section to take advantage of the features of TMC on the Delphi
NAV200.



Initializing the TMC Receiver and TMC Status

Initialization of TMC begins as soon as GPS signals are received. The current
status of TMC service is indicated by an icon on the right side of the screen:

TMC off: TMC is not activated; TMC traffic messages cannot be
evaluated by Delphi NAV200.

No TMC: No GPS signal, therefore TMC service is not possible

Searching for broadcast station: The TMC receiver is ready, but
cannot receive TMC signals.

TMC ready: TMC signals are being received
