Z2 Wont Show Traffic After New Installation

I had a Z2 in my 2003 Expedition for several years, it was stolen so the insurance company replaced it with a Z3. Then I took my Expedition to my mountain home where it is now in semi-retirement.

 

I now drive a 2002 Rav4. I found a nice Z2 on EBAY for $600 with everything I thought I needed. Now installed, I called XM to have my license (plus traffic) moved from my Expedition to my Rav4. I thought I would just move it back when I was at my mountain home. After all, I can't drive both cars at the same time -- they live in different states.

 

Almost everything seems to be OK with the "new" Z2. Looks like the previous owner had done the Bypass. The mute wire had already been moved, so I grounded it and and the brake wire. Also, I can operate the Navi while driving.

 

I have BLUETOOTH ND-BT1, XM GEX-P10XMT, and IPod Adapter CB-IB100.

 

My only problem is that I get no TRAFFIC -- I double checked with XM and they resent the signal so I should be getting it.

 

Even though the XM Radio plays normally and I get all normal channels, under INFORMATION, the XM Status display shows:

 

Status: Not Connected

Signal: No Signal

Radio ID: (blank)

 

Any Ideas?

 

Also, I show V 2.000 or Rel 02/2007

Do you have both the ip-bus AND the data cables connected between xm unit and head unit? Sounds like the data cable is not connected.

I have a GEX-P920XM XM unit -- it only has an IP-Bus cable. IP-Bus in and IP-Bus out. I also have the CB-IB100 that I had originally connected but tried the XM receiver with and without the IPOD adapter.

OK I think I figured it out..... I need the GEX-P10XMT NOT the GEX-P920XM. From what I have read, the GEX-P920XM does not do Data / Traffic... Watch for me on EBAY... 8)

 

I guess this is a good thread anyway, for someone making the same mistake.
