wrufai Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 The traffic button on the main screen has never worked for me. Does anyone know why that is? I'm assuming that button has something to do with Nav traffic. If so, I also purchased that as well from XM radio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flipper Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I dont have the traffic option but a few things that come to mind do you have a subscription to that? is the unit activated/authorized by xm? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wrufai Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Yes, I'm subscribed to nav traffic and went through the activation process with XM. My xm radio service works fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotun Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I think that button is on a "default" menu for Sirius and XM as they both seem to have the same GUI. It does work for Sirius as it will take you to the traffic channel that Sirius broadcasts. It doesn't work for XM, I don't think they broadcast traffic channels like Sirius. I just installed the XM w/ Navtraffic and was noticing the same thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rotun Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I think he's talking about the "traffic" radio button when you are in the XM mode not the map/ nav mode. Which one are you referring to? XM or map? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bonj87 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 you have to tune to a traffic station for your area then, hold that traffic button down for about 10 seconds, the radio will pop up a message stating its now set for that station to be your traffic station. then it should work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotun Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Now that makes sense! The XM traffic channel for my area is 222, so if I tune XM to ch. 222 then hold the traffic button it will set ch. 222 to memory for the traffic button. Thanks, I guess I should have R.T.F.M.!
