navigon 5 - No longer supports TMC in UK

I have a BIG problem with the way Navigon have handled this Evil or Very Mad

Anyway that won't get your problem solved.

First of all TMC for V4 is still working - checked today.

A few questions :-

1. Is the ariel damaged? if the TMC module is recognised and cycling through the stations it might just be the ariel. Is there any chance of trying a different Ariel?

2. Have you tried changing the GPS type in settings? I've had a similar problem - if you go into your GPS settings change it from "Navigon Modular" to "Navigon with TMC" or vice versa (make sure you save changes) and this may bring your TMC back - it's worked for me on a few occasions.

Hope this helps

Again, many thanks for your reply. The antenna seems to be OK; I checked the resistance with an ohmmeter. The main setting right now says "Navigon with TMC". I will change that and see how it works.

Chris,

I've just finished an extensive testing session. I have plugged the TMC receiver in and out, and tried all permutations of Navigon Modular and Navigon with TMC in the Settings menu, all with the same result: The TMC panel stays orange and the receiver seems to be cycling without hitting a valid station. I probably have a hardware failure and will contact Navigon to get that sorted.

You didn't mention you had your own hardware Wink

You'll need the Navigon TMC Receiver for it to work with Navigon.

I don't believe that Navigon TMC will work with anything other than it's own hardware.

Best to check with them before you buy.
