sportsfan21 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Do you have XM Navtraffic activated? Those buttons are only available with Navtraffic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimmy303 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Do you keep your car in a garage? Was the car in the garage when you activated the NavTraffic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
apax Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Do you keep your car in a garage?

jimmy303 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 It needs to update the information on traffic events, which is not something that is continually broadcast as a stream, it is sent periodically, and whenever there is a change. This may take about 10-20 minutes, depending on weather and if there are any obstructions around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bcd1 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 apax, as far as the traffic on route button being greyed out it is probably because you didn't set a route anywhere. Mine is gray until I set a route and then this is works fine.......... I guess it's because it is what it says... traffic in route. Go figure. Are the favorite and browse buttons grayed out? bcd1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy303 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 This is true. I really should start reading the entire thread before posting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimmy303 Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 That button will be greyed out unless you have an active route set up. Then it will come on to notify you of traffic conditions along your route. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
